Getting Started

I figure I might as well get started on this blog right away, while the paint is still drying and the furniture hasn't been moved in yet.

I am starting grad school in five months. I am not getting a job. I am going to use this five months to learn everything I have wanted to learn up to this point in my life, so that when I start school, I can learn something else. I am probably not going to finish everything, but I am going to start as much as I can, and I'm going to post about it here. I've got a reading list, I've got a to-do list, I've got a list of lists to be made, and I've got a lot of free time to use up.

One of those things is learning how to make a website, make it work well, and make it not ugly. I've finished one of those, and you can follow the progress on the other two right here, as it happens.

The Other Things will show up here as I find something to say about them. At least that way, I won't embarrass myself with an extraordinarily long, public list of unfulfilled goals. But don't worry; I fully intend to embarrass myself in other ways.
