It begins

You probably shouldn't follow this blog.

It's not about anything in particular.  Or rather, it is about whatever I am interested in at the moment.

I do things I shouldn't.  I fix my own car even though I tend to spend a little more money and a lot more time than if I just took it in.  I write comedies that really aren't that funny and dramas that are just disturbing.  I make crap out of wood, like benches, even though no human could ever consider them level, let alone comfortable.

Right now, I have just bought myself an Arduino, even though my effort into it will produce about as much value to society as if I just sat and played angry birds till I puked.

So what is this blog for if you shouldn't follow it?  Well, there are other people like me.  DIYers who should really not DYI.  Perhaps you are one of them.  If you are, you know the feeling of searching through video after video of brake rebuilds looking for something that looks like your car, or trying to modify some circuit that you found on the web when you have no idea how it works, or just wondering if there is anyone out there that agrees with you.

That's what this is for.  Somewhere, someday, some sap will be trying to do something he shouldn't and have have the exact same problem I've had.  If I write down what I did, and if he puts exactly the right search terms into Google, well I might just save him some frustration.

If you're the sap?  Well this is for you.
