Welcome (again)

I’ll confess, focus is not my forte! I tend to be interested by a lot of different topics, even more so when it comes to technical and scientific ones.

Over the last few years, pumped up by the then latest and greatest idea I just had, I’ve started several blogs. I followed-up with a couple of posts and then swamped by work or some other real-life “obligation”, I let it fall into oblivion, piling up in some dead internet sites landfill, waiting for the DNS registration to expire.

Did I learn something since then? Maybe, maybe not, but I want to believe in my mental sanity.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

– Albert Einstein

So I’ll go by the above quote, attributed to Albert Einstein, and do things differently this time. Well, sort of.

You might say that you’re reading a new blog that I started and so consider that I’m doing it all over again. I beg to differ.

I did not register yet another domain name but decided to locate this blog at the URL I used for my SPOC site. Although this might seem like a technical detail, it’s not. It is a conscious choice in setting the tone of this site, which I want to be much more about me. But fear not, the goal is not to write an egomaniacal soap opera like series praising my greatness, but to give me the opportunity to talk about my thoughts, experiences or ideas as they evolve thru time, without being constrained to a specific topic to which the entire blog is dedicated. This will also allow me to go broader, talking about things that would have never warranted a dedicated blog but might make for an interesting post.

This time, I’m not starting from scratch either. I’m bringing the few posts I did on Geekstorian over. Not that there was that much content over there, but I feel like this is an important topic for me and I still want to explore it, maybe not tomorrow but I’m pretty sure, some day, there will be follow-up posts.

So let’s see where this takes us and anyway, as the proverb says : “The Journey is the Reward”.
