Hello, world!

I’ve never had a blog before, so before diving into more interesting topics, I’m going to set some ground rules for what you, the reader, can expect. And for what I am expecting of myself. I am considering this post to be a living document – I will update it to fit my needs as the blog evolves.

Goals (of this post)

• Purpose and vision statements.
• Define what a blog post will and won’t be.

Purpose:

This blog’s primary purpose is for the externalization and organization of my learning about topics that interest me.

The secondary purpose is to practice my writing.

What this blog is

I will

• write about any topic that I choose. This blog is a space for curiosity-driven exploration. I’ll be diving into topics I know nothing about, as well as those in which I am well versed.
• be conducting my own research, and documenting my learning journey.
• openly acknowledge my lack of expertise, never misrepresenting my work as an authoritative source.

Each post will

• have a title that finishes the question “What’s going on …”.
• be as accurate and objective as I can make it.

What this blog is not

Each post is not guaranteed to be

• a definitive guide to the considered topic.
• free from inaccuracies.

Vision

“A space for learning and writing – led by curiosity.”

So that’s what’s going on with this blog!
