The Internet is the domain of extremes. Extreme personal views, extreme endeavors and feats of extreme skill. Most of all, it is the repository for extreme knowledge, i.e. it is an incomprehensibly vast tundra which can intimidate the average “netizen”.
I’m not your average netizen.
I am one IT guy with a keyboard and a mission. Tame the Wild, Wild Web so you don’t have to. When I’m not ‘net-wrangling, I force-feed on cross-platform Javascript mobile development platforms, Objective-C:iPhone and/or Java:Android application development — simultaneously. No wonder my head often hurts. I try to stay engaged with my wife and son. And when all things collapse into miasma of confusion, I go run nine or ten miles to clear the brain. Trust me, you don’t want to be near if I haven’t been able to run for any time longer than a few days. It’s not pretty.
Previous blog attempts failed horribly for a variety of reasons like unrealistic expectations of Internet fan-dom, hubris, and way too much introspection that only fans of Morrisey could really appreciate.
Mostly they failed from lack of focus. Let’s fix that this time, shall we.
One and only one vision
Document every niggling, pain-in-the-ass, impossible-to-find, illegible, incomprehensible nit-picky detail about all the software, hardware, application frameworks, jargon, and jerk-headed netizens – to name a few – that are standing in the way of me completing my projects.
Along the way, I’ll also highlight what I find awesome about the Internet, that is, all the good it can do for us.
