Goals for my blog

Lots O' Content : I have seen this method succeed many times on the internet, if only for one reason: the internet is addicting! Some examples of people that have become semi-famous (or famous) that I follow are: Strobist (David Hobby), Wheezywaiter (Craig Benzine), Tobygames (Toby Turner), Stuckincustoms (Trey Ratcliff), and Damnuglyphotography (Brad Trent). A lot of these people started posting a lot, and their viewership rose exponentially. A few had really great content from the start (more on that later), but some just posted a lot and neatened up the rough edges later.

Engineering, that thing I want to do.

Let me get something off my chest: I hate engineering. I really hate engineering...school. In the past year, I have been asked to do numerous assignments from various professors that amounts to no more than busywork. ONCE this year I have been asked to create something, and that was in a non-engineering class. My Chem 167 (chemistry for engineers) professor once stated that he was glad that we were becoming engineers instead of business majors because “we've got too many people selling things in this country, and not enough building them” - or something to that effect. But there lies the problem with the program I am currently enrolled in, I haven't been asked to create anything this year.
