What is this blog going to tackle? I'm not really sure yet. Ethics, philosophy, current events, technology - they're all potential targets.
Part of this adventure is learning a new blogging platform called Ghost. It's a project I kickstarted earlier in the year, aimed at simplifying blogging with a powerful, open, progressive, and gorgeous platform. This blog is running Ghost and so far, I really like it.
At work, I use a dropboxed instantiation of TiddlyWiki, which was my first foray into custom markdown. Ghost uses markdown as well, but offers a preview pane, which essentially flattens the learning curve of transitioning from WYSIWYG editing to nil.
Pretty cool, eh?
That's it for now. Until next time.
dropboxed: to be run exclusively from within a Dropbox folder. Allows for cloud syncing across multiple devices.
markdown: a formatting syntax for text that can be read by humans and can be easily converted to HTML.
WYSIWYG: stands for 'What You See Is What You Get.' Describes the current, but venerable, way to edit content on the web.
