This is a spot for me to write about my interests, including nuclear engineering, naval matters, and other topics I have been thinking about.
I became interested in making a blog because of Tom Scott‘s weekly newsletter, which is probably the piece of internet content I most closely follow every week. He often links to other people’s websites or blogs. I think it is cool to read a work written by somebody who is passionate enough about a topic to post about it casually in long-form. These blogs inspired me to create my own, to confront new ideas head-on.

I feel excited and love reading about nuclear engineering and maritime topics, so I want to write about them, too. This blog will be a good place to practice my writing skills and share what I think about anything that comes to mind. Right now I am planning to write a post every Saturday, but there are no guarantees. The good Lord knows I have a bumpy track record when it comes to starting new routines/habits.

I’m hoping that in the quest for good things to post about I will learn new things, find new sources for reading materials, and even do some personal projects that I can share here. Maybe I will be able to post some coding projects, fresh ideas, or just cool stories about places I’ve been. Thanks for reading this and commenting if you feel so inclined! I look forward to filling this site with posts that I think are cool. Hopefully you’ll think they are cool, too!
