Just wanted to drop a couple of thoughts on the blog as I come up for air in between writing papers and studying for finals.
* I have officially entered the realm of fountain pens, and I’m excited. I will say much more later, but for now let me just say that I never thought I could get so excited about ink.
* It’s ‘used to’ not ‘use to’
* My wife is amazing
* emacs is amazing and I can’t wait to learn more about how to use it this summer
* Why can’t I get the thought in my head onto a stupid piece of paper?
* On a similar note, I want to be a writer (ironic huh?)
* Almost done… just a few days left.

Fountain Pens rock…
What about “usetacould”?
Kim’s pretty cool
emacs sucks… not really, but it seems to have a pretty steep learning curve… I’m a big fan of the mouse 😉
The Tower of Babel
Hey, so do I!
Hey, same here!

hey thanks for the input sir, even if you are wrong about emacs. (not about the steep lerning curve, but about it sucking…. becuase it doesn’t)

Ooooooh! Fountain pens! =) Emacs! =D
As for getting stuff out of your head and into paper: it’s just a matter of practice and time.

If you like emacs, you should give nano and vim a try. Nano is easier to use with less features. Vim is harder to use with more features. If you thought emacs had a steep learning curve, you really should try to save something in VIM without looking up how :-).

[…] Gearing up for this new chapter of the website (and my life) has been intimidating and exciting. Somewhere along the way I got it into my head that I want to become a writer. Which really just means I will continually try harder to do something I will proportionately realize I need to improve at. (Can you end a sentence with ‘at’?) So, while I have wanted to be more intentional about my writing, I’m also setting myself up for more critique. Before, if I wrote a post, “I got sick on somtehing today”, people would just wonder what made me sick, not decide I should never type again since I can’t spell something. […]

[…] Gearing up for this new chapter of the website has been intimidating and exciting. Somewhere along the way I got it into my head that I wanted to become a writer. While I have wanted to be more intentional about my writing, I’m also setting myself up for more critique. Before, if I wrote a post, “I got sick on something toady”, people would just wonder what made me sick, not decide I should never type again since I can’t spell “today”. And then, even if I am suddlenly able to write like Annie Dillard or Thomas Merton, I wonder if I will have enough to say. My heart and mind have been busting at the seams, begging me to set loose all these captive thoughts. But when I sit down to write, I don’t know what I want to say. Well, I know what I want to say, but I don’t know how to say it. Ok, I know how to say it, but I don’t know where to start–how to take that first step. […]
