Why blog

Why would I start a blog? List of reasons below.

• To check out jekyll. At first glance it seems nice and elegant.
• To have an outlet for occasional bursts of creativity. Sometimes I feel like writing. Sometimes writing helps me organise my thoughts.
• To practice writing. I read a sound advice on some scientist’s blog (unfortunately can’t find it now) that scientists should blog, because they need to write a lot, and for that there is no better practice than writing itself. I like this idea, given that blog format encourages longer, structured texts, compared to most social media. And I could use some practice.
• To keep some software-related notes for later reference. Some posts might get technical.
• Because I can do this with github pages, so why not?
• I bought a new keyboard, which doubtlessly is an additional motivating factor.
