I started a blog on Google Blogger as a way to give back to the PC breakfix community. When I got back into web hosting in 2013, I saw that WordPress had taken over. So I moved it to WordPress, and then one of my posts hit Slashdot [0] and made the front page. That was a first, and was huge for me. Then in 2015, I had some serious Hackaday envy and so I started another WordPress blog[1] to document my hobby-engineering-related stuff. That took a turn toward amateur radio. I did some fun projects, got a bit of a following. In August 2021, I actually got to start writing for Hackaday.com, much in part due to the experience/voice that I'd created when writing for my blogs. I also used that experience/voice to do some writing-for-hire stuff at a well known site for low-end VPSs, and that experience got me in contact with people that landed me my current job, which is the most fantastic job I've ever had.
