Hey!
I was one of Those People who signed onto HEY! email near its genesis to try it out. HEY! looked like a decent way for me to get a handle on my email use cases and needs. After about a month, I'm pretty sure that it'd be a chore to go back to other email systems to train them and myself to use them. HEY!'s changed the way I interact with email for sure. I highly recommend it if you have the means. It does take some getting used to, evolving a compatible processing flow, because it's very different from most email providers in that you have to tailor your usage to its configuration. But I've found HEY! to be well worth the money and initial effort for the time and mental energy savings.
HEY! just launched this micro-blog platform as a free add-on to their paid accounts. I've toyed with blogging in the past, and decided it was too much hassle to leave alive. I post things intermittently on Facebook, occasionally tweet, but that's about it. I have a lot I could talk about, but just don't.
HEY World seems like it might be a good way for me to just blob some of my various interests and thoughts out there without much work, without the social media tracking and ad targeting, and without having to set up themes or keep another site or platform maintained.
So I'll play a bit, and see where it leads. I'm not consistent about posting, but I'll try to horf up something every week or so.
What to expect, in no particular order:
* Nerd culture, including podcasts, written art, music, etc.
* Gaming from an aging nerd's viewpoint, including PC gaming, tabletop, roleplaying
* PC and networking hardware and software BS, some of it potentially useful to others
* I have some PC input device stories and thoughts that might be interesting
* Maybe some music musings
* Links to news, maybe accompanied by my personal sociopoliticoeconomic commentary blatherage
* Maybe some news tools
* Organizational, info, and project manglement tools and processes
* Techlish, mixing English and technical expertise together. (I want to be a technical writer "when I grow up", but need some training and experience to pivot from my current work into that)
* Word play because English can be fun and funny
Quite a grab bag, no? I'll try to be good to sources, but can't guarantee a high quality of content, or consistent delivery.
Here we go....
