Blogging About Everything

10/03/14

There's a lot of things I do that I think maybe I should blog about. Like, in particular, things I do that I want to stop doing, but also things I think about, things I plan to do, and things I "plan" to do.

There's a few dreams I have had that maybe I should blog about. Including a lucid dream.

My yard is way outta control, and I took pictures when it was at its worst (and its not much better than that state). I have had strategies to get it in control and keep it there, but like most of my strategies, it seems they weren't sustainable.

Oh, yeah, wasn't I going to blog more through A Pattern Language? I was, Stephan, I was. Now I'm almost done reading the book. Took about two months. Actually pretty good for a book that's about 1200 pages. It's really interesting, defintely gonna blog a "review" and talk about my plans for returning to it in the future.

I had a Facebook argument recently about GMOs. It's actually still going on, but at this point the Facebook interface for discussion is not cutting it. I plan on both continuing the argument here and giving a background on it.

That's going to require some tact. Actually, a lot of stuff I want to release to the general public is going to require tact and I'm going to need to be smart about what I don't say. I got some stuff up in my brain I'm not ready to share with the public, and I'm sure the public won't appreciate a considerable amount of stuff I would be willing to share.

Important to know what to keep to myself.

I definitely want to continue blogging my way through various projects. The ones I do in real time provide a lot of learning for me, and hopefully it helps someone out, and hopefully I get better at making 'em engaging and useful.

Right now I'm working on putting my blog in a SQLite database and having it all run on tornado. I'm quite a ways into the post, actually been working on it for a while. If you can guess the filename and path, you can actually find the work-in-progress. Though, you seem the patient type, Stephan.

I'm not good at asking for help. Defintely going to blog about working on that.

I want to be a better activist, too. I'm starting to solidify my identity and stuff, and figuring out what I think is worth fighting for, so to speak. Definitely pro-feminism. I'm atheist, but not anti-theist (anymore, I should talk about that process, too). Defintely recognize that racism and the like is still really rampant, and there needs to be something done about it.

Also, fiction. I got lots of ideas in my head there that I need to do a bad job of writing down so that eventually I can do a good job. I'm talking vigilantism fantasies, hacking horror (another blog-post in progress), and there's more I swear but as I try to summon them all at once I'm drawing a blank.

I've done a few game idea posts, but there should definitely be more of those.

Also, stream of consciousness. I do a lot of it, and this blog post exemplifies it. I don't really need to blog about that, I just did, but I can't think of a better ending to this post.
