Well. It’s been more than six months since I’ve put up a post on this blog. Let’s take a look at that, shall we?

Well, here we are again! You may have noticed that I’m reporting to you from a new URL (https://bradfonseca.com/) There is a mildly interesting story related to this change that I thought I would share here. I recently read an article on John Scalzi’s blog called “20 Years of Scalzi.com”. In it, there is a quote…

The Importance of Documenting

I try to do this in a number of different ways: teach them to be kind, teach them respect, teach them to stand up for themselves, and other ways.
