So it begins...

I've decided to start writing a blog.  The idea is:

1. Give my customers some insight into what's going on behind the scenes.  Often customers only get to see the finished product, which takes a long time to appear - when we're doing major development they can get tired of being told "real soon now" with no visible sign of progress.  So I'm hoping that I can provide some insight into how things are progressing when we have big product development projects going on.
2. Provide a platform for interesting technical discussion, both for the public and for my customers.  I hope to discuss some of the technical challenges we face on a day to day basis, which may turn out to be interesting and helpful to people, and invoke feedback as to whether I'm using good approaches to solve problems.
3. I'd prefer comments I make to not be read as an official statement from the company.  These aren't official announcements, there's no guarantee that anything I mention here will make it to market, etc.

I've chosen to make this a personal blog, rather than officially tied to my business, Opendium, because I don't want to end up talking entirely about work stuff.  I'll be posting general "stuff I find interesting" stuff too.
