I have decided to add a couple of groups of book posts. One will be simple — it will simply make entries when I add books to my library. I’ve decided this is a good idea since it is an easy post and it’ll at least express my subject interests (that way I can be judged by my covers!). I also just got a few new books and I am excited to put them up, so I’ll seize the moment!

This series of posts will be the first concerted effort to get some content up and routinely add to it. It will be in the form of a tour of my bookmarks; I’ll be leading you on a bit of a journey of my browsing habits while on the web, what I have found and what goes on in my head when I decide to follow a certain web page.
Since these posts are meant to give a sampling of my interests on the Internet, the subject range will be broad. At first, these may be fairly random. Well, eternally these may be fairly random. But some topics that first debut here may eventually start a whole new line of posts or discussion — and I’ll do my best to let it evolve that way when it is fit to do so.
My first post in the Bookmarks Series follows this post directly and suitably satisfies the criteria for randomness. Enjoy!
Well, it has been a long time in procrastinating, but here it is — a brand new website. You’ll notice it is sleek, has a little more design sense than the last one or two and the tires feel solid when you kick them.
I have a whole host of ideas for what I want to accomplish here. I won’t get into them as it is too ambitious and far, far too boring. Besides, I’ll be to achieve half of them, so I won’t set hopes to high yet. At mininimum, though, I intend this site to accomplish three basics. First, I hope to be able to share at least a little bit of my life a little easier to a few more friends and family — you. If I can manage to update when I travel it will be a nice travel log, of sorts. Second, it will be a repository for my ideas — organized and updatable from anywhere. Third, through posting my ideas I hope to give some insight into how my gears turn and make some turn elsewhere. I have benefited from others who have posted their ideas and projects online, so I figure I’d do well to pay it forward.
Of course, the first challenge for me is going to be getting some content on here. I decided the easiest and cheapest trick available would be to just move some old stuff here. Inconveniently, little of that stuff isn’t dated or interesting. Nevertheless, I found at least one thing that I figure is most appropriate. In honor of beginning this new website I have enshrined my very first webpages — made my freshman year of college — in this, the first post of a brave new website. You can brave those dusy old pages by clicking on the link at the end of this post. Admittedly, it is not much to look at, but it is amusing to at least look at what my head and feet looked like five years ago. So here’s to the intention to create a webpage, and here’s to giving it a go!
To go back in time and see the last time I started a webpage and didn’t do much with it go to The Life of Matt in College.
