Whoo hoo! Broke it! Huzzah!
Alas… Google ranking has fallen again to 3 (2 for yahoo). I think joshkim.com is suffering from some spam bot attacks… but we won’t go into that.
Just wanted to share. Now go back to the rest of your day.

Need to fix them… but so little time…
Too much time spent on learning things like Quirks Mode and DOM scripting and Box Model… And when I mean learning, I mean trying as hard as I can to memorize everything…
This stuff is useful. Where have I been these 5 years… I swear, it’s a different world. I feel as though I took a time machine 5 years into the future. I’m so not ready for a career in web development.
Hopefully, someone will pay me to learn it very, very quickly. I wondering who… hoo?
Ya wonder hoo?
Oh right… wasting time with silly things. We won’t get into what those silly things were, but silly things, nonetheless. Bloody…
I think a good way to start describing or defining something is by approaching the problem from a different angle: what it ain’t.
I’m doing this here, more or less, to be able to come back, time and time again, and reflect on why I write on this blog to start with. An added bonus is also that you, my readers, and keep me on track. It is possible, though, that one day, one or many statements will become false or unnecessary, but until that day comes, I hope to stick to them.
The bullet points.
This blog isn’t only…
- “Personal” or “Business”
- While I’ll be posting things relevant to my personal life, I’ll be using my personal life to only supplement the content… which will range in topics from programming to web culture to entrepreneurship to… who knows what will capture my fancy?
- Indeed, it is my name that’s the domain of the site. The blog needs a little bit of the JK in it to be JK.org.
- “Brain Dump” or “microblogging”
- It’s nice to be able to relieve the post anxiety disorder (you know, the one you get when your blog goes without a post for two days)… but I need to make sure some good content makes it up here. I can’t have too many of those posts hanging around.
- Lengthy posts are good… but man, they’re so hard to write. A concise, focused post is just as good as a lengthy, focused post. Quality, Josh Kim… quality first!
- For the Up-to-Date News
- There is no way I’ll be able to keep up with the blogging giants. I will hopefully very rarely post merely a link to a page. In the very least, I’ll have some commentary.
Purpose of The Blog
- Solidify and supplement learning and growth
- To increase knowledge in a field
- To share that knowledge with the world
- Commentary on news
- Keep friends in the DL (not the “disabled list”)
- “To whomever it may concern”
- Keep private things private, keep public things public: Define that line
- Reduce duplicate efforts: Tell a story once, and tell it well
- Keep records of events and everyday silliness
- Define “Josh Kim”
- Who is he? Why should anyone care?
- What does he like? Food, music, books…
- Metacognition FTW!
Sounds much too like timesheets and TPS reports, but to sum it up:
Growing, Learning, Sharing, Defining. The World and Me.
Or something like that… yeah…
Until Derek told me… I didn’t know such a word existed. I figured it out, with my four years of Latin and 10+ years of English, but still… wow.
I think my other friends have probably thought of me as such… and just didn’t know of the existence of this beautiful word.
It’s true, though. I love to figure out the process of anything, be it:
- Doing taxes
- I redid my taxes 3 times, just to get comfortable with the Self Employment part (Schedule C)… not sure why I did this, but I guess it satiated some curiosity I’ve had
- Software
- Not only RUP/XP/Agile, but also about how software companies are formed.
- Blog
- Looks like there’s going to be a categorical change… now that I can finally create/edit/delete categories… some weird Wordpress bug got fixed, whew.
- Life
- Mostly about the means, less about the ends
But alas… meta is closely becoming a prefix/suffix I enjoy. *hint* *hint*.
I really want to read it. I really do. But after reading about 10% of the post, I realized the CSS to this post was atrocious. What is the deal with horizontal spacing? What is the deal with the width of the column on this heavy text post?
After disabling the CSS, enlarging the fonts and shifting the window to make the text column a little bit smaller, I still realized that… something’s very wrong with the spacing of words. I thought “acycletothe” was a word I never heard of before.
Dang it. There’s another book/essay experience ruined. Blah.
