For the longest time I viewed blogs as a complete waste of time. A trend carried on the shoulders of artsy elitists. A place where teenage girls write about the difficulties of high school life and hopeful artists write mediocre fictional stories.
Then I came to the realization that some of my most frequented websites are in fact blogs. The web has evolved into a mass of shared personal knowledge. Bots scan and distribute posts in multiple languages all across the world. An RSS feed in Australia alerts a phone in New York. The knowledge and experience I've gained can be grossly attributed to blogs and I feel it is now my duty to contribute as well.
I was driving home from work the day I started this blog and started to wonder. Almost anything you post online becomes permanent. Information becomes cached, archived, translated, burned, and forgotten. Long after I cease to exist, the words I type remain online...somewhere. So, what information have I read that surpassed it's authors life span? What stranger has taught me lessons, techniques, and ideas that I use in my everyday life?
I've never been a skilled writer but I'm willing to do my best if you're willing to read. I may be confusing to some, and ignorant to others. But, if one person refers to my blog in order to solve a problem or gain an idea...I am a teacher.
Information fuels evolution. Google is only a gateway. This is my piece of immortality.
