Spirit of the Blog

Posted on 14th September 2010

So I’ve been far out of touch from my blog for too long now and I’m afraid that if I don’t start making use of this; I might regret paying to have my own domain and hosting. So as I have done many times in the past, I’m going to reinvent my blog a bit. I would have liked to focus on mobile and education technology but I’ve been a bit out of touch from that too recently. Being out of touch seems to be the theme of my life lately actually now that I think about it. I’m out of touch from my blog, my interests, my family, and even my current job in some ways. I think it’s time I get back in touch with a lot of those things.

So my most recently enlightenment to the spirit of the blog I think this blog will become a log of what’s happening in my life day-to-day. Which, after-all, a web log is supposed to be right? Thankfully I will do my best to keep it brief, interesting, and confined to topics that are important themes in my day-to-day life.

I hope you enjoy the reinvent.

The only things that matter

Posted on 7th March 2010

I’ve been a blogger now for about five years. My blogs were never really anything of significant quality or importance but it has always been fun to have the ability to share my thoughts with the world. I’ve always struggled to focus exactly what it is I wanted to accomplish with my blog. For a long time I was in a blogging group called ‘The WAFN project‘ after having a poorly-maintained personal blog for some months before-hand. In fact, I’ve always had a personal blog of some form, but I’ve managed to have a number of side blogs including one which had to do with my introduction to the world of Open-Source named OSoSoon (Sorry, no links completely Death Star’d1 these ones.) The most recent iteration of my personal blog before this one was called ‘A Binary Musical’ (Again Death Star’d). After being met with repeated boredom in all blogs I settled to just name my blog after my domain space: ‘tjbro.com.’ But throughout the many blogging adventures I’ve had I’ve focused on topics like recent news, gaming, open source, technology, and personal topics. But never have I been able to distill the purpose of my blog to a simple mission statement which would allow me to use the WordPress tagline option on this site.

Being a person with unique outlook and opinions on things who also tends to have silly adventures on regular basis I figure I should give you my version of recent events along with random entries giving insight into the ridiculousness that I tend to live out from day-to-day.

Taking these things into consideration I’m please to welcome you all to “tjbro.com: the only things that matter.”

Wish me luck!
