First Post in New Blog

Why have I started this blog? I'm thinking of dropping off the radar in the Flash community for a while. I feel the need to shed the baggage of my identity, and write as though I don't have an audience. It's not that I'm writing into the void, as I have given the link to a few friends that I think might be interested. I'm not writing anonymously, I'm just writing more "quietly".

What will I be writing about? Mostly Flash and my own learning experience. I have to admit that I'm not a very good programmer when it comes to "not re-inventing the wheel". I usually try to figure things out for myself, instead of following established patterns and algorithms. But I'm not completely stubborn, I do make use of them.

Why did I call it "Underground Flash"? Well, my aim is to write one geek to another, without any commercial expectations. That doesn't mean that I'll never have ad banners on the page...since it would be nice to have a little extra pocket change...but that I'm not writing to a commercial perspective. I want to talk about the artistry of writing code, as well as fumbling with getting things to just work.

Am I really going to keep this up? Well...we'll see. Hopefully, I will write more than I have been.
