Trying Out Blogging Again
I think it has been far too long since I have shared my fully-developed thoughts with the Internet. With over 550 followers on Twitter and more on a number of other social networks, I think its safe to say I have an audience who are willing to listen. I think it is a wasted opportunity, and that is why I have decided to again add blogging to my personal web site.
One thing I did in the past that I won’t be doing on this blog is having comments. Why bother? Twitter is perfect for short blurbs, and if I want to open up the discussion to a wider audience for more conversation, I can post to Hacker News for the big posts, like project launches and updates.
Want to know the coolest part?
I have decided to skip out on using a database, writing the blogging software and hosting the blog myself in lieu of using GitHub Pages and Jekyll for static pages. It is awesome, and I completely recommend it for my fellow hackers.
I’ll leave you there for now. If you have any suggestions for me or my new blog, feel free to tweet me.
