Reputation

I know this blog has not grown much in reputation.  In fact, I would dare say that there wasn't much to begin with since I started this blog with little idea of what I was doing or how I wanted to do it.  I felt that something needed to be said, but I wasn't sure how I would say it.  After a time, the voice would find itself, or so was the idea back in March 2006.

Things went pretty well.  I made about half of the posts up to this point in that inaugural year.  Didn't get much exposure, but this was before I got into Facebook, and well before I discovered Twitter.

Then things got really crazy, and everything about my reputation changed.  In July of the same year, I started a new blog that gave me an entirely new reputation, for good and ill.  Mostly good I would like to think, but even after nearly seven years a father, I still think there is room for improvement.

Right now my reputation as a reliable blogger would not be accurate, but I want to change that around.  I've been listening to an audiobook version of The School Revolution by Ron Paul and part of the curriculum is to keep a blog.  Posts don't have to be long, 250 words is ideal.  Mostly because blogging becomes part of the curriculum in the sixth grade.  With that idea of posting 250 words a day, I figured it would be worth it try again.

One goal I have for 2014 is to attain my Amateur Radio Operators Licence.  Antennas are a part of the materials I'm studying, and I have come across the term 'resonant frequency.'  Seems that resonance isn't just for destructive purposes, though if I remembered what a tuning fork did when eight years ago my first post would not be quite as rambling.

Regardless, in order to turn this into a reputable blog, work needs to be done.  And that's what I intend to do from this day forward.
