Well, this is it. I've become a blogger.

I spend hours every day wrestling with new software tools and devising new feedback systems and ways to exploit those systems. Some ideas that rattle around in my head are too grand to implement directly, so I just mull over them for a period, and then often forget about them entirely. I could fill a library with all the great ideas I've forgotten.

I thought that perhaps given a medium where I could get those ideas written down and out in the open, perhaps I would benefit from them more. In the process, why not share them with those who are willing to listen... perhaps they can benefit from them as well?

The blogosphere is an increasingly crowded space. As much as I would like to have one place where I can vet all my ideas, there is a need to hone my focus. Deviating from this norm once in a while should be acceptable, but in the interest of keeping ChaosEngineer coherent these deviations should be kept as infrequent as possible.

Thus this will be a place where one can come to find technical insight on using Linux, OpenGL and various other open source technologies. The general focus of this usage will be for the purpose of creating, interfacing with, manipulating or visualizing chaotic systems. Getting Linux to do what you want, and then streamlining it would be part of this process as well. I hope to expose plenty of generally useful information along this somewhat narrow road.
