A Statement of Mission: What Is This Hamquackery?

This blog is for writing about the things I learn. And here I am, starting it off with something that's not about things I learned.

I mean, I've known for a while that to be a writer, one must write. All the time. It doesn't really matter what it's about; the more you write, the more you can write.

I know this. But I never really followed through on it. Until now.

This is my "write all the time" forum. And since it's easier to write when you have a theme to write about, I've chosen one. Like it says up there, I've chosen to write about the things I learn.

It should be easy. I learn new stuff all the time. And if I don't, well, this has the special advantage of forcing me to go out and seek new things to learn, so that I can write about them.

I'm feeling a little guilty about putting up an inaugural post without anything I learned in it, so I'll offer a nugget: I learned that all the good URLs on blogger dealing with variations on "things I learned" were already taken, but for some reason hamquackery.blogspot.com was not.

One day, maybe you're learn what hamquackery means.
