The Reprogram // My first blog post!

Ok.  Here it is...finally, my first blog post!

If you stopped by and are actually reading this post, I want to start out by saying THANKS!

This is my personal blog, as stated on the home page, where I "hope to share my experiences in life, learning and technology.

So, why am I blogging? What is so important, that I need to share with everyone?  Really, there is nothing that serious that I plan on blogging about (not yet anyway).  Besides the reasons stated above, the underlying reason is really that I want to "pay it forward", by sharing my experiences with you, with the intent of sparing you some of the pains I have experienced in the context of learning and technology.  If you learn something new or if I saved you hours of work trying to figure out how to do something, then I've met my intent :-)

A little bit more about the blog.

First off, I decided to call it "The Reprogram"  because I am at a point in my life where I have undergone some drastic changes personally and I am currently transitioning into Programming after an extended tour with the Military.  So in essence, I am "reprogramming" my self both as a person and in my career, hence the name "The Reprogram".   Besides that, I named the blog after a Hip-Hop weekly venue I used to go to, at  Fitzgerald's.  I always thought the name was cool, even before I started programming.

Also, in the spirit of Zen Coding, I wanted a medium to be able to expose myself and show anyone that's interested, what I'm about and what I can do--show case my skills like in Napoleon Dynamite and maybe make a little extra money :D

So what are my goals with this blog?

1. Blog at least 1-2 hours per week.


2. Keep my posts short but make them as informative as possible.


3. Keep everyone informed on craft related events and social events in the area.


4. Not waste your time!!!

Well, that's pretty much it.  Not to bad for my first post.  Next post--Effective Learning.
