Faithful Geek Makes 1000th Post

To be honest, I didn’t know what I was doing when I launched this blog. The first title was just Random Thoughts. It wasn’t pretty. I started it for one reason: a coworker was doing it and I had that Cranberries moment of ‘Everybody else is doing it, so why not me?’
Along the way, I learned some basic HTML, got connected with some other local bloggers through Hucks Online, and improved my typing speed. At some point, I added the words Rants and Raves before the existing title of Random Thoughts thinking that it fit my OOOH Shiny personality a little better. As I continued, I considered this to be an ongoing love letter to my kids so that they could someday look back when I’m no longer around and know what kind of man I was. I considered this an opportunity for my parents to keep track of what was going on in my life so that they didn’t have to stalk me on facebook. I considered this to be nothing more than a place for me to get my thoughts out of my head. A creative outlet/ Faithful Geek . More here .
