A small introduction to me.
An urge to write has grabbed hold. I've been reading several blogs with great interest and decided that I might just try my own hand at blogging. It is my little experiment in changing from reader to author. I'm not sure that will be an entirely easy change to embrace, the burden to communicate coherently is on the author and that implies a certain responsibility that doesn't exist for the general reader. I guess time will tell if I can make the transition.
I've never voiced my opinions very often - most people don't care and it isn't worth the arguments that you get into with those who don't like to think for themselves. The appeal of this blog is that I get to stay somewhat anonymous, although over time people will start to learn more about me. I don't think a person can write about things effectively without revealing themselves to some degree. Here is your first glimpse, I'm an engineer. Engineers aren't known for their english skills but they are generally very judgemental and opinionated. I'm not the typical engineer but I do share some of their traits unfortunately. Then again, that is what this is all about, stating an opinion and backing it up to some degree. Maybe it will come in useful.
I don't ask that you agree with my point of view or even that you like it. I've found that people that agree with you think you're smart, those that disagree believe you're either stupid or just being contrary. There are many things that I find are important to me for some reason or other, and there are many things that other people find important that I really don't care much about. I'm sure if you read this from time to time you'll find you have the same reaction to my thoughts and words.
Thanks for reading. We'll let the fun begin
