You know, I should start a blog.

I've been fascinated with technology for most of my life. I showed an interest at a fairly young age, and my parents recognized this and bought me a Commodore 64 back in the early 80's. From there, I'd considered it a hobby until my undergrad years some twenty years ago, when I decided to make it a career. Since then, the world of technology has undergone some seismic shifts, although in some ways it's remained remarkably the same. I've thought about writing a blog from time to time, but couldn't really think of anything unique I could contribute; one contributing factor was working for the DoD on sensitive or classified systems in the area of cyber security. I did't want to put myself out there, because I thought it would create a unnecessary risks for myself and those I worked for. I've been away from that world for a year now, so that's not a good reason anymore (if it ever was), and I think I should just start writing this stuff down for my own sake. So there you have it -- I've started a blog.

So what does that have to do with SysAdmin lessons learned? Well, I plan to post about things I've learned over the years, dealing both with technology and technical people. We'll see how it goes from here.
