So recently I have been informed that I should start a blog.  Apparently when you post very large rants on the Book of Face you should really use a blog.  So last night I decided to start a blog, and by decided I mean realized that what they suggested a blog be used for was not what I was going to do because normally I just like to post how happy I am or something I am excited about, and honestly who wants to read a blog about that.  

What I am going to start a blog about is challenges to myself.

What I am defining a challenge as: 

1. Possibly just a project (Does not need to be challenging just fun, but could be a challenge)
2. Something with a start and end point, not something vague.     
3. Must be something that takes time (Aiming for 5 days or so in my spare time after work)             
4. Hopefully technology oriented (Programming, electronics, etc)
5. Something that stretches the mind

That is where I am going to start, I also hold the ability to change or negate any of the rules for any thing I want to do or that is suggested by the public. 

For instance one of the challenges I pose for myself for this blog is using Linux more, Now that won’t be on the 5 day work schedule, and since I work in Windows at work I cannot change that, but At home I am going to try to use Linux for everything (Eventually for this challenge).  Let me also point out that I have used Linux before so this is not something new to me, I just think that making a point to myself to do something I want to do is important and if this is how I get myself to do it then so be it. (I’m Lazy) But as you can tell no start or end point, well no end point so far, and the start point is not defined either, maybe I will do this for the “challenge” but not at this point. 

Public input is going to be important to me, not just so I know people read my blog (although that is nice to know) but also so that If the public wants me to do a technology oriented challenge I know what they want and I can keep the readers happy.

Fans give me a reason to do this, if I make a promise to do this and everyone is watching making sure I do this then I will do this, otherwise it will fall to the side like many of my other personal projects. 

If someone notices grammar issues with my post or misspellings let me know (Just do not be mean about it), I try to keep an eye out normally but as many of my classmates from college would tell you I am terrible at English, too bad it is my native Language otherwise I would have a valid excuse.
