YES! Site Niche Found!

I’ve been talking to people about how there needs to be more nerdy Christians.

I’m now proud to say I’ve made up my mind about JoshKim.org and the direction I want to take with it.

It will now be a blog focused on the life of a Christan computer nerd, with interests ranging from technological issues to personal finance to business concepts to user interface design to Asian cultures, with a sprinkling of really bad humor and horrible sarcasm from time to time.

That’s it! That should be plastered on the index.php of this site.

See… this is why it was so hard to redesign this site… If you don’t know what the book is actually going to be about, how in the world do you design the cover? What the freak can you do with shapes, colors, and lines?

Slowly, I’ve been making changes to the site. I’ve made RSS feeds available through feedburner, I’ve made sure that technorati tags are working… I might start integrating some other Web 2.0 services (meebo me? mybloglog? what what what?)…

Also… what good is a blog without content. I’ve been trying to change my writing style into a more “you”-oriented style. I think, during the days of JKmain.com, I thought I was “selling out” if I wasn’t writing purely for myself, and just letting the readers in on the fun. Silly JK… it’s been years since that happened…

I’ve realized that I want… no… need to make my mark in the community. What community, you ask? Well… the blogosphere is quite large. Not only is there are large number of different groups of people, there are quite the overlap in these groups. It’s amazing to even think about it.

I’m not going to just go ahead and throw away my personal entries all together… I’m just going to start structuring them a little bit more into ways that people can… I don’t know, read and find out things about me.

So that’s my conviction. Now… to find the time to make the cosmetic changes…

The Obligatory Daily Post

Let me tell you about today… I woke up. Did work. Ate Lunch. Did some more work. Went to WIMPE. Ate Dinner.

However, my daily routine changed a bit when I got to hang out with Derek, my ISR roommate from freshman year. We just ended up talking about the new CS coursework requirements and the new things in ourlives. Then we dived into Guitar Hero 2 and some co-op play of Splinter Cell, like the nerds we are.

Now, mind you… I haven’t played an FPS since… well… I guess if you count the time I randomly sat down in front of Colin Das’s computer to play CS… about two months. But it’s something about playing a game with someone… and a game that’s as good as Splinter Cell… that brings two hardcore nerds together.

Why do I write this? I realized again that I really am who I am. I am a nerd. Period. I’m probably going to enjoy some type of real-time interactive simulation until the day I die, regardless of how the older population thinks about such “frivolous” things. I also understood… how far I’ve come in not being just a nerd. I kinda fell out of the hardcore gaming life a while back… I mean, I don’t even have a Wii right now…

Currently, my TODO file is getting larger and larger. Just today, I moved all the posts from my wordpress.com account to here. I also asked Alex to install Gallery on this server. There should be some large changing coming to this blog… soon… but I’m not going to make promises like last time and look like an idiot.

Updates will come when they come.

And dizang, I’m tired. Must… wake… up… early…
