Bugsy is blogging, Again - The return of my personal blog
Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009Bugsy Rocker first started back in 2001. I bought the domain name bugsyrocker.com in 2002. Since then it has seen at least three major redesigns (check out the web archive bugsyrocker.com, though some of it is embarrassing).
Throughout college I had a pretty extensive blog of my personal thoughts and happenings in life. After that my blogging was all about the adventures I had on my 50-state tour. And in the last year all of my blogging has been about the Upper Peninsula.
It’s been a long time since I’ve had a personal blog and it’s time to bring it back. Quite often I have thoughts about my profession or educational background (advertising, sociology, web development, photographer, etc). Other times I find myself with opinions about hockey, snowboarding, travel, and more.
With all of my projects and the growing number of people following whatever it is I do, it just made sense to give everyone a way to follow what I’m up to, what’s going on behind my projects and in my head or what I’m going to be up to next. If nothing else it’s a bit of therapy for me to get my thoughts out there.
So it begins. I hope you enjoy.
