This is it. My first official posting of a blog on my new website. My very first attempt to reach out to my audience and grab hold of you. My first impression (for which, it is said, we never get a second chance)...
I better make this good...
And yet, I'm stalling because I can't really think of anything to write. I'm supposed to use this to keep the world updated on my life progress, but seeing as how this is my very first blog, that gives me about 25 odd years to cover, which I already have done in other areas of this site.
Time to rethink, retool and restrategize.
I guess I could take a moment to explain to you how just now (that is, about five minutes ago) I was taking a shower and I had somewhat of a revelation regarding the chemical properties of heat and combustion. The problem is that I don't think that will interest very many people (if I'm wrong about this, you can email me and let me know and I'll write about it later).
Instead, I'll explain a bit more about this site, just to get everyone up to date.
In the end, it all boils down to vanity, but I've found that in some areas of life, it doesn't pay to be humble. One of those areas is on the internet. I haven't been taking advantage of the power of the internet like I should, I realize, and one of the ways to do that is to plaster yourself over it in as many different places as you can.
My goal: Go to Google and type in "Isaac." When you hit enter, I want my name to show up right there on the first page, which is devoted at the moment to Isaac Newton, Isaac the Biblical Patriarch, the International Society for Augmentive and Alternate Communication and Innovative Scientific Analysis And Computing. Nothing about me at all.
In fact, I don't even know what page you have to go to to find anything about me (I tried, but I got bored after about thirty pages). Surely, attaining this goal is going to take a tremendous amount of work, self-determination and a bit of exaggeration on my part.
I have to convince the world that I'm more important than I am.
On that note; if there's anyone out there working on a Wikipedia entry for me, I'll be happy to provide you with whatever information you need. Ditto for anyone who's thinking about writing an article about me for the New York Times or National Geographic.
I'll take interviews, to be sure, and if I have to put my face on a few buttons, I guess I'll stoop to that level too.
I suppose none of this really answers the question of WHY, though.
Why do I want to be king of the internet?
The more important question is who wouldn't?
And that's it. That's my opening statement. I'm not out to change the world or anything (though if I have to do that in the process, I don't really see myself avoiding it) - I'm just openening a door and waiting to see what walks through it.
