This Site's About More Than Data

A few weeks ago I wrote a post about how I planned to write about data again.

My idea at the time was to dedicate this site to sharing my ideas and opinions on the data world. I’m going all-in with data and hope to have a prosperous career in the field. So, I figured writing about data would help me build my network and learn more.

And that’s all true. Writing about data will help me accomplish those things.

The decision to dedicate this site to data, however, was impulsive. Even though I’m writing about data for the previously stated reasons, it’s not my only motivation to write. I still enjoy writing to share stories, clarify my thinking, and explore new ideas.

Many of those stories, thoughts, and ideas do not relate to data, however.

So, I made a mistake choosing to focus this site solely on data.

That’s why I’ve decided to write about whatever interests me here. I won’t limit myself to data. I do hope, though, that many posts will focus on data. Those are the ones I will share with my data network. 

But other posts will be about whatever topics interest me at the time.

I have written too much over the last year that I never published online. I regret that. And if I don’t dedicate this site to more than data, I fear the regret would grow.

Luckily, I’ve come to my senses.

My regret won’t live long. I’m expecting a lot of great posts to come soon. Until then…
