Personal (200th) Post

Looking back on the amount of posts over the last 4 months (I really took up writing seriously in July this year), it looks like I'm hitting my stride, of about 40-50 posts a month on average (the 50th post was on August 2nd, the 100th on September 8th).

I really enjoy writing this blog, both as a sort of knowledge sharing resource, and as a sort of personal diary. I find the need to articulate a subject I just read about, so other people can understand it, quite refreshing, if a bit demanding.

I've worked with a lot of people who talk in sound bytes - if you don't understand what they're talking about, you probably don't deserve to. I come from a different angle: I love education and believe everyone can understand anything, if you take the time and effort to explain.

So, I promise to continue covering interesting, challenging, controversial and funny issues and add color commentary as much as I can. And the next celebratory post would be the 500th post.

Last piece of news: the URL www.TravelingTechGuy.com is now active and points to this site.

Another tidbit: I decided to try and see whether emoticons on the site work better than my usual smilies :) Drop me a note if you think I should avoid them .
