Hi. I’m TobyJoe.
I’ve tried this so many times. I always start it up, write a bit, then abandon it, only to kill it shortly after. This is another attempt.
My wife, Michele, has been running a site for five years or so. She’s posted thousands of times and has tens of thousands of comments. She’s good at it, this blogging. She thinks I should be, too.
Objectively, I’d bet on my being a strong blogger. I have all the right traits to be a successful blogger (for now, we’ll not define how I measure success).- diverse interests, with a strong set of specialties
- a highly-opinionated personality
- my name is all-fucking-over the Web
- I work for a very popular company with lots of press coverage
- I take photos and put them online for no good reason
- I was a collaborator on a popular photoblog, FiftyMillimeter
- My wife is a popular blogger
- I happen to use Ruby on Rails heavily. That alone should flood my site with traffic.
Shit, man, I should be king blog. Caesar Blogicus. Something.
I’m gonna try to focus this one a bit. My main focus will be split among three topics, I think.
- Development. This includes Objective-C and Cocoa, Ruby on Rails, PHP5, and some fun Adobe scripting
- Photography. I like it. I love my Leica.
- Politics. I’m pretty much a Rachel Maddow fan boy. I’ll regurgitate whatever she says.
Oh, and I’m gonna toss in another. It’ll invalidate the list above entirely, and probably piss you off.
- General stuff.
I’m not going to take this one down.
For a while.
