So in the past this blog has been intended to serve as a dynamic introduction for my personal-professional website, JAG-wire.net. I’ve tried to make large posts periodically, written in a verbose and clever (if not mildly nonsequetor) style, illustrating my ‘faffing about’ in Graduate school. Unfortunately I write these sorts of entertaining blurbs best when I have enough time to really consider them and they’re most often a sort of report-in newsletter kind of format with a few questions here or there. After going several months without really hunkering down to chisel out a post I decided it was time to retool the format. As a preamble I’ve been writing down little snippets of ideas that come by and flirt with me throughout the day. They’re all things I’d like to write about but wouldn’t exactly fit in a personal-professional blog that’s meant to showcase my development in academe.
But let’s face it, nobody reads something so stagnant and it doesn’t do me much good to write it. So from now on I’m going to start posting up fragments, humor, curiosities, and drama that intersect with my mind. It’ll be notably more personal, more offensive, and probably a lot more interesting. So long as the wrong professors don’t find their way to it I should be okay… and if they do, oh well, I’m not really interested in hiding who I am.
We’ll see how long I can keep it up but I think it’ll be considerably easier to do! I’ll start it off with my accumulated list.
