Where Is This Site Going?

Be warned average interwebber… This one’s a doozy. If you own a blog… I’ll probably attack you. I’m sorry. But I’m trying to make the web a better, more usable place. Read more to affect the history of this site, and to see what the hell I’m talking about.

Who am I?

No, Really? What makes me different than the 42 billion million other wanna be someone bloggers? As of now? Not to much, and to be honest… I don’t really care. I don’t write here for anyone per se, I kind of use it (currently and historically) as a bookmarking or link sharing site for anything I find interesting.

But that’s wrong. No really… It is. The web is full of junk. Full of crap… similar to this post. It’s irrelevant to literally everyone out there. No joke. No one actually cares. To me this is fine because… I don’t care too much about this site. But to the other blogs that are exactly like this: I’m bored. Constantly running across people’s diaries is a waste of what this amazing series of 1’s and 0’s can do. I mean there is nothing wrong with expressing your ideas… but most of it is the same old stuff. There is nothing original. I am guilty of this. I’ll just repost something that’s interesting. But that shouldn’t be what Blogs, or Websites are for. That’s twitter. Seriously… that is what twitter does… and it does it well! Blogs are for content, ORIGINAL content… stop wasting space, sign up for twitter/tumbler/friendfeed and buy a diary to kill trees and publish something only when it’s worthy of being published.

More recently I’ve grown tired of users around the web. I’m sorry for not being tolerant. Because of amazing, amazing, web apps like wordpress and anything Google does, people seem to think that everything is simple. When it’s not… they complain! Or feel angry when a legitimate member of the community wont go completely out of his* way to do something for them for free. This might be something that others have noticed, but as I learn more I find it annoying. The internet is full of knowledge(once you get past blogs on twilight and the jonas brothers), but you have to try in order pick it up. If you don’t want to try… then you should probably pay someone. I’m cutting this rant off, and skipping to my point. *”If only defeating sexism were as easy as throwing in an occasional he/she, she, her or hers. I use the masculine pronouns merely as a shortcut… …Don’t look for sexism where none exists” – Guy Kawasaki

So what? I can only control a minute portion of the web. And I’ve controlled it wrong. For that I’m sorry, I apologize, and here is what I propose:

All posts on my site categorized as “uncategorized” are showed only as titles with a few exceptions:

The latest post created (first post shown) will always be displayed in a summary view.

Any “uncategorized” post with comments will be displayed in the summary view to encourage discussion.

Viewing the “uncategorized” category will show all “uncategorized” posts in summary view.

I will post original content that does (but isn’t limited to) the following:

Informs readers of something new. Could be like News, or could be an explanation of something commonly mis-understood.

Inspires readers, or it will be my intention to inspire readers. (I can’t be held responsible if they do or don’t get inspired)

Teaches someone something.

I will attempt to make every post of the highest quality I can provide at that time.

I will only write posts I feel are worth reading (with the exception of “uncategorized posts).

What are the posts going to be like then? That will entirely depend on What I’m interested in.

What Am I Interested In?

That’ll change. Or at least I’m assuming it’ll change. As of right now I can see four major things I will be posting about.

Web Design

Why? Cause I love it. I like looking at trends, I like playing around in Photoshop. I like hacking together little pointless sites.

Web Development

I see most of this being quick hacks for wordpress.

I also think I’ll cover basic html, javascript, and css

I’ll hopefully be posting tutorials on how to do things, that I had to figure out myself somewhere… so that the next person can implement it quickly

Start-up Businesses

Highlights of some cool start ups or businesses that I may have found

Ideas for businesses or new business plans

The mobile tech industry

I see this as being the new computing industry. This may just be news, It may be more… not too sure

General thought provoking knowledge.

I guess that covers a lot

If you’re looking for the random videos, or stupid pictures, or pointless rants… They’ll be here… they just wont be prominent.
