Signal vs. Noise
»From the general part of the brain.
Eugene Hedley: [referring to something I don’t recall, circa 1995] So what do you think about that?
Me: I don’t really have anything important to say about it.
Eugene: Ha! Whatever! That’s never stopped you before!
10 years later, it probably hasn’t either but don’t worry, I don’t plan on making too much noise here. I’ve found that the blogs I enjoy reading the most focus on specific topics. Keeping this in mind, I came up with a list of things I thought would be fun and important, at least for me, to write about. The original list was long, so I narrowed it down and came up with the following:
- An entrepreneur aspiring engineer.
- My continually growing software engineering body of knowledge
- And, from time to time, dancing
As far as content is concerned: 70% of the time, I will be writing about my shit. 20% of the time, I will be linking to, and writing about someone else’s shit. And 10% of the time, I’ll be writing about completely random shit. So there you have it, for the next few months we’ll see how much signal or noise I can make.
