- I recently (ok, back in June) relocated from Northern Virginia to Huntsville Alabama, so I figure this may be a good way to keep my, now distant, friends up to date about what I am doing.
- A diary, so to speak, of my activities. I'm terrible of keeping track of what I have accomplished and how I have accomplished it. So perhaps making posts to my own blog could help document what I've done.
- Maybe, just maybe, someone will see something I've done and it will help them, answer a question and/or inspire them (although I am not sure about that last bit).
- A bit of public accountability. Like most of us in this hobby, I have an ever increasing number of models. Models unpainted, unassembled, unused! So perhaps if I am open on this blog about what I've done (or not done), what I've bought, etc, I may be shamed to stay within my budget, meet my hobby goals and so on.
- To share what I think about a particular subject (game, model, kickstarter, movie, whatever) such that it may increase it's exposure to more people. In general, these will be about things that I feel positively about. If I dislike or hate a particular thing, there really is no reason to waste my time or yours "ranting" about. But, I will on occasion fail at this.
That being said, there are a few things I will not be doing.
- Writing very well. Or spelling well. Or using proper grammar. And I will not stop using 2 spaces after punctuation, that is how us older farts were taught. This is not professional content, it is maybe just a little bit more than my stream of conscience and/or a conversation with myself.
- Oh, that's another. At times, I will probably write this as if I am talking to myself. Hell, for all I know I am. But see the previous point, I'm not going to (nor do I have the time) to go back and edit content to produce professional polished posts.
- I will not be promising to provide content consistently. For years I've been following an uncountable number of blogs, much bigger blogs and further reaching blogs than I can ever hope for, and every year they make resolutions to post more regularly or X number of times a week/month. Not here, posts will come when they come.
- I can not promise to "manage" this blog well. I don't know what I'm doing here folks! I'm like my parents 30 years ago trying to program their VCR. I am sadly befuddled by technology I can't figure out in 5 mins.
- Investing a lot of time in making the blog look or work better. I've settled on what I think may work and until I know otherwise, I won't be investing much more time into it. I think it's readable and functional. After all, I'm not a professional web designer or anything.
