August 24, 2016     Bringing Up themnmoores.net Domain

Rich's description of getting a domain from Google Domains.

Welcome to my blog. Ever since I retired in 2015 I have been discerning what to do next, should I jump into software consulting, become a more full time Catholic Deacon, just enjoy retired life, or do something really new. After a good 6 months of being retired I was able to slow down a bit and enter into the retired thing. I am really glad I turned down a couple of consulting opportunities and stuck to my plan of being retired for the first year. After a while the thought of blogging started to come to mind. What makes blogging unique for me is that I am not a writing person, and actually usually avoid writing if at all possible. But thoughts of the stuff I could write about kept coming to mind.

After avoiding blogging for months I decided to give it a try, and looked for ways to have a blogging site. After looking at Facebook Pages, Google Sites, Wordpress, Weebly, and many others I decided that rolling my own website via HTML and Javascript would be a fun way to keep my programming skills active.

Not sure what I will write about, and know I will jump from subject to subject as it comes to mind. I would expect blogs entries about software development, wine, religion, backpacking, biking, and much more.
