Nomadic Nation Lives
Well, as you can all see, the blogger blog really didn't go anywhere. I wasn't much of one for keeping a blog for myself. I found out that I wasn't really good at blogging about my personal life.
Well, now I have a new job, where I'm sitting at a computer all day working for an internet services compnay. One of the fringe benefits is getting some free webspace, and on my free time, I wanted to do something with it. I ended up creating the first of a family of new web sites: nomadicnation.com.
After a lot of thinking, which I detailed in my first post there, How to Make a Nomad Site, I decided that I really want to write about the things I like to read about. It's the same sort of stories that I always click on on digg.com. I'm always reading about neat fun facts and information on science, mythology, history, and generally geeky stuff. I'm constantly in search of new information and always getting stuck on wikipedia for hours, ultimately waking up and realizing that I'm reading something about the history of chocolate when I started by just trying to look something up about Abraham Lincoln. If I'm going to have this information addiction and constantly try and accumulate new facts, I might as well write about them too. So the Nomadic Nation website will be all about learning fun facts and new informationand then writing articles about them. They say the best way to learn is by teaching, so I'm sharing what I read.
If you get a chance, drop by the site and read my articles about the History of Atlantis or The Origin of the Olympic Marathon, and stay tuned for all the new interesting articles to come.
Also, if you have any ideas on some fascinating topics for stories, let me know.
Meanwhile, I'll be using this blog mainly to blog about the project and any new developments in the nomad sites.
