Starting up my software blog

Hi to everyone reading this blog. I figured I would jump on the bandwagon and start blogging on things related to software development. I have been a software engineer for the past 7 years and counting and am currently serving as a senior software engineer in Richmond, VA.

My hope is that with this blog, I can accomplish some of the following...

• First and most importantly, I hope to help other software engineers/developers/designers just like myself throughout the software develop
• Help myself organize some of my thoughts on software development. In the future, I hope to write some articles that may cause some controversy and people disagree with some of the ideas that I discuss here. I think different views on how to develop software are so extremely important in the software development field (I'm sure I'll blog about this at some point).
• Blog about new and up-coming technologies. Though I currently focus on Microsoft and .NET technologies, I hope to write about other technologies as well, and upcoming topics regarding all things software.
  

Anyways, so here goes nothing. Please feel free to comment on my blog entries. The virtual software development community is a strong one, and I look forward to learning more about it from others, and hope to teach others a few things as well!
