I'm Starting a Blog

This one actually. I have no set plan for content but I do have some goals.

I want to share my thoughts on a whole bunch of topics with others. Not because they’re particularly insightful, but because I have lots of them that never make the cut for a real human conversation. I’m getting bored of being my own captive audience and now I want to make you miserable too.

Mathematics courses and tech jobs are not the melting pot of literary creativity you might imagine them to be. Or maybe they are. It’s easy to look up from the keyboard after a few years and realise you haven’t had to write more than few grammatically correct sentences since reading “Of Mice and Men” in (high) school (and even then half the words I wrote were colloquialisms of rural America).

The few times I have written short tech articles I find myself assuming a voice that I’m not even sure is mine. I hope this blog will help me find my voice and improve my writing while sharing borderline useful thoughts about my interests.

Lastly, I just want to talk about and share the things that I like. I might talk about using data to better understand sports, a different way to think about basic mathematics, ideas for using tech to improve the world around us, finding quiet roads with the finest pubs in the land, or something that really grinds my gears.

I’m not certain what most of the blog will look like yet, but it will be the sort of things that I think about day-to-day - and that’s at least genuine if not interesting!

Please feel free to reach out for a chat, coffee or beer (or all three).
