Why a blog in the year 2025?
I feel like the internet has lost its way a bit. There's plenty of content out there, but this is about my experience. I wanted a place to share my ideas, experiences, suggestions, learnings, and whatever with friends and strangers alike. I hope that what I learn, you can extract learnings from it too. I hope my suggestions guide you to awesome results. And... I hope my experiences are useful (and maybe funny too.)
Here's a little bit of what you can expect:
- Expect nothing. I'm here putting my thoughts out there. Oh, you're still interested? Cool! Continue reading...
- I aim to make this world a better place through empathy, education, understanding, and action.
- My personal reccomendations will be listed here from various cities, categories, and more.
- I'm totally cool with you sharing things.
- I'm not interested in taking money from you.
- I am not seeking your approval.
- I will express my political views and even throw support behind candidates.
- As often as I can, I will not link to big name sites for information, but instead try to find a smaller source.
- I will make mistakes
- ...And if I make a mistake, please let me know what I did wrong and what action you suggest I take.
- ...But that doesn't mean I'll agree with you. I at least want to consider your feedback.
A little about me...
- I'm a consultant. I've worked as a devops engineer, developer, tester, project manager, process manager, and more. I have over 15 years of experience and I love what I do, but I don't always love the industry itself.
- I love to travel.
- I love food. I love to bake, cook, whatever. I'm always trying new things.
- I'm originally from Texas, and as you read more you'll see that I do not have a lot of love for it.
- ... But I still cheer for the Houston Astros. (And no I do not like the owner...)
- I'm an anime and gamer nerd.
- I love to build computers.
- My consulting company is Kakumei Consulting. If you want to work with me, you can find me on Kakumei's website.
