I’ve been meaning to revisit this blog for a while. It’s popped up in my mind sweeps as “redo dorky,” “revisit blog workflow,” “redo dorky template,” etc., for months now. Finally, there has to come a point where you just go ahead and do something.
I have revisited my workflows and my templates and all that other stuff, but really it comes down to just writing more. Not just writing as an exercise, or writing for the sake of writing, but writing to explore things, to figure things out in my life. Not really journalling, or writing essays about life lessons that have come up recently, though I guess that could happen. I’m not ruling anything out.
I’ve made it a personal goal to get a decent job in the tech industry in the next five years. Hopefully, it will happen sooner than that, but let us set the finish line at five years from this point. I’m currently teaching myself coding in several different languages, and working as a freelancer, monkeying with people’s Wordpress sites and doing data entry on their back ends. (I’m really sorry. I couldn’t help myself. I can’t be the first person to make that joke, right?)
I guess what I’ve been looking for is a focus for dorky. This used to be the spot where I would post the random stuff that I found across the internet, but that role has really been taken over by my tumblr. What I'm hoping to do here is try something new for myself, and see how that goes.
