Project 1 : A Blog

So, while I've already said that this blog is about the projects I'm working on, I also intend to cheat a little and use this as a place where I can write about some of the things I'm thinking about.

For the most part this will include discussion related to the fields of software design, user experience and software development (non of which I am actually an expert on, but I certainly spend a lot of time thinking about these things), but might also expand further into academia or what ever else brings itself into my head.

The blogging here will be a project, this means that I'm only going to undertake it for a certain length of time (one year in this case)* and will, I suppose, have some project posts about the progress of it as well. In addition to simply giving myself a platform, I'd like this project to allow me to spend more time writing, which will hopefully make it a less arduous process for me (and make the reading the writing a more pleasant experience for you).  As part of the project I intend to post one blog post a week, usually late in the day on Wednesdays (Mountain Time).

I do intend to keep the blog posts here in Getting Excited, Making Things, but will tag them all "blogging posts" (as opposed to "project posts") if you wish to avoid them.

Go Make Something!

*I think one of the number one reasons many creative projects fail is that there is no end goal. While not universal, this does lead to a lot of people burning out on their projects leaving the audience (or at least me) unhappy that they're not getting their new content regularly. There's a reason that most television shows have seasons.
