Good lord, another blog?

Hey, look at that. I finally went ahead and made a blog.

Kinda surprising that it took this long, as I've developed a reputation as somebody who enjoys writing, and also enjoys inflicting that writing on those who have better things to do. Thanks to the Internet, now I can do that to people I don't even know!

Now that I've lost your interest, I'll see if I can earn it back.

This blog will serve two purposes: professional and personal.

I work as a Flex/Flash/Java developer, and have the privilege of helping manage a department full of talented people. I'm hoping that I can post some information and lessons learned that will help others dealing with similar situations. I know how invaluable it can be to find a blog post dissecting a particular problem and sharing the solution, so here's a chance to refill the karma bank. Most of you will arrive via Google-fu, and will disappear within minutes. I'm happy to have been of service.

Personal posts will be me screaming at the Internet. My time is passing, and I'd like to have a more permanent record than my own weak memory. If I lack the discipline to write a personal journal, then maybe the vanity of throwing it on the Internet will make me want to record who I am at these moments in time. Future me will probably be grateful, and the rest of you will probably think I'm a bit of an asshole.

I hope what I post here makes your life easier, better informed or more entertained in some small way.
