Purpose of this site

I've got a couple of reasons for creating this blog that I'll highlight as follows:

First...

I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've written some code or made some tweak to one of our environments that I've had to revisit/reuse a few months down the road. One purpose of this blog is that it'll allow me to store various random helpful nuggets of information for later use. If it helps you solve a problem or give you some good ideas...even better!

Second...

I have interests in many different technologies and a major part of my job is trying to identify the strengths and weaknesses of various platforms for solving different types of problems. My thought is that this blog could provide a good platform for relaying those experiences. Perhaps it might help validate a technology decision you've made, steer you in the right direction, or help you avoid pitfalls...who knows!

Last, but no least...

I've got a ton of developer tips and tricks stored in my brain that I think would be beneficial to share with the general development community. Some of these nuggets of wisdom will be obvious to those well-versed in the given platform, but could prove invaluable to those who are still learning the nuances of it.

Anyway, those are my initial reasons for creating this site, but I do plan to take creative liberties with it and we'll see where it goes from here!
