+What is a "blog" to me, and why have I decided to create one?
+What technologies enable this blog?

+
+# what
+
+For several years, I have tried to maintain a "brain" of heirarchial information for my personal notes.
+Frankly, that experiment failed.
+There was too much of a barier to entry for throwing information into the "brain", because the heirarchy required too much thought about where the information should go.
+
+That said, this "blog" has roughly the same purpose---organizing my personal notes.
+Why do I share my blog publicly?
+Honestly, the biggest reason is that privacy is a hassle, and by sharing these pages publicly I personally will be able to access them as easily as possible. Privacy is hard, and not worth doing poorly. I see no reason for this information to be private, so I choose to make it public.
