“Start writing”, they said

5 Comments

And so I did.

Hi, and welcome to this blog. A bit late to the party, yes, I must admit, but on the other hand, it’s never too late to start.

I believe that blogging isn’t just a hype, but a powerful platform that enables me to write something for you, and I want to be part of that. “Who’s that me”, you might ask. Well, everything you need to know is to be found right here.

Now here comes the tricky part: telling you what I’ll be writing about. I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I decided that I don’t want to make this yet another lifeblog, also because Twitter is already enough of life streaming. Another place then to find that funny new YouTube video? Nope, I’m sorry.

What I do want to write about is things that I do, that I work with, that I dream of and so on … (poke me if I get too lyrical) which means I will probably get technical, talk about small internet gems and discuss everything else I feel like writing about.

You may have noticed that it’s easier to think of what you don’t want to write, than what you do want to write. Writing is not the most natural thing for me to do, but it is something I want to practice and I’m sure that blogging will help me write better and more.

I’d like to end my very very first blogpost with the following quote, which for me captures a lot of what I want to do here.

All I want to be is someone who makes new things and thinks about them.

Btw, they refers to all the people who were getting impatient with my endless delaying of this blog. Thanks!

    You’re already added to my favorites Pieter :) . I hope you’ll proceed some time with this, and hopefully you can keep it up to date cause otherwise you will probably loose a lot of fans very fast…
