2010

So it's a new year friends. I don't know if anyone has ever read this blog, however i do hope i am contributing to the internet.

I think i've wrote this before, but i'm really starting to get concerned with how much i take from the internet without giving back.

I know that most people only see the Internet as a one-way deal, but that is a misguided view. The Internet mainly exists by the investment of people or organizations. These entities put a lot of resources into putting information on Earth's network (The Internet). I'm sure that the average person that does not understand servers and network traffic can only see that they pay a bill in order to connect, but that connection fee is not from the Internet overlord. They're from the service company that has gone through enough paperwork to get your business. More and more i'm gaining this sense of responsibility to contribute and add back. Maybe because i am learning more and want to spread that knowledge.

Colin and i have had a few small talks recently about sharing knowledge.
In these talks we have determined that there are very few knowledgeable people that are willing to share their experiences. Some want monetary support (a valid request i'm sure) and others feel that, "I went through these problems and so should you!" and the other percentage are too lazy/don't know how to do it effectively.

Well, we're fed up with this. If for whatever reason, there is no profit to be had in withholding knowledge and experience.

So as i sacrifice my few hours of sleep to write about this, i want to post a few areas of interest that i plan on writing about (and probably with colin's help).

-bikes
-beekeeping
-chickens
-urban farming (ish)
-fishing
-home repair
-computer systems
-dumpster diving
-etc...

Now i want to make it very clear that me (and colin) are not masters of information, but we do spend alot of time on research as well as have experienced many things. Our posts are not to boast our egos, nor to establish any standard or guidelines, but rather to share our experiences.
