When I started this website, it was merely out of regret that I hadn’t dedicated any time to my previous website, and the want to claim this domain (samson.is-a.dev).

But a website with just an About section is boring. And I like writing. I write letters (by hand) to penpals, family, friends. I like writing blog posts at work. So why shouldn’t I write blog posts in my personal life?

For those other things, I can always find a topic. At work I write about problems or solutions or successes. With my penpals, we share updates of our lives. But what should I write about on a personal blog?

I don’t know the answer. But given I enjoy writing, I’m resolving to try to find some topics. On The Medium, I am always being recommended posts that have zero value. So if other people can do it, why not me too?

What do I know about?
  • Cooking
  • Letter writing
  • Scrabble
  • Software

These seem like reasonable topics to get started with.

By posting this I’m already one post ahead on the website I started three years ago!
