Up until a few weeks ago I was convinced that blogging is exclusively for wussies. Back then I guess I had the general impression that people who blogged mostly ranted about life, about meeting this girl or that guy, etc etc you get the drift. Blogs had been one of the primary tools used by online criminals for identity thefts, harassments and sometimes even leading to rape and murder, these are the major reasons I avoided and even detested blogging from the start. These people who so innocently shared so much personal information online should be educated on the dangers for doing so.
Me, I had always been interested in the world of technology, not just for the sake of technology itself but also the politics and the drama behind it. Issues like DRM, piracy, Intel vs AMD, NVIDIA vs ATI, FOSS vs Linus Torvalds, the recent HP pretexting scandal, the downfall of Microsoft's monopoly, Windows vs Mac vs Linux vs the rest of the world, these beat our everyday soap opera and the best of all, they are real! Think about soap opera + reality show combo :) . And whenever these pieces of news came about, I always have the urge to share them with peers, to write down my thoughts in words, and to see whether I am alike or alone in my line of thinking. And what better tool to allow me to do just that than a blog. Even if I consider myself a bit of a geek, I certainly am not an expert therefore I consider myself as expressing my thoughts from a layman's point of view.
Don't get me wrong. I still think that blogging about personal life is wussy and dangerous, but even a kitchen knife can be a murder weapon. Please take note that whatever I post here in no way represents the company I work with or anyone else, they are 100% mine, and I will not take credit for anything that is not written by me so I will provide links whenever possible to my source of information. You will find that most of the time I frequent the same websites :) .
Do give me a warm welcome to this world of blogging. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do. :)
