Introduction: Wherein I Do the Impossible

Qub3d

Good Day, Everyone!

The art of writing and the science of technology are seemingly devoid of similarities. A "Liberal Arts Major" is viewed as a fluffy bigwig with no ability to do anything practical by STEM majors, and an Engineer is considered a no-life sexually repressed nerd with social skills that can be summed up with a bad pun by the Lit/Art/History crowd.

Essentially, this type of blog is, according to "Educated Folks", an impossibility.

Well, hold on now, lets slow down and cover a few basics. This little experiment is an attempt to discuss involved computing hardware (and occasionally software) topics with a high standard of writing. Good writing is difficult; good tech writing is unheard of. Sorry, CNet, but lets face it: tech journalism sucks. Either the journalist has no idea what he is writing about, or the Engineer has no idea what writing itself is about.

And how, dear reader, do I differ?

Well, I'd say that I've been a "techie" since a very young age: I could manipulate a mouse before I could type. I'd also mention how writing is a later development—albeit an intensive one. Currently, I pursue dual Computer Science and Literature Majors. Yes, I've been told this is an incredibly daft idea.

I cannot promise anything better, but I will try for different. Because, occasionally, different is synonymous to better.

So here goes. Wish me luck?
