So, this is my blog…
Hello, World! My name is Blake and I want to share things with you. No, not those kinds of things. Nice things. Like knowledge. I consider myself an accidental learner which means I stumble though information at various levels of efficiency and absorb stuff as I go. That results in a lot of breadth without a lot of depth which is due to a bit of ADD and is sometimes a dangerous thing. 
Professionally, I am employed by a company named TopCoder. You might know them from their algorithm programming competitions (if you know C#, VB.NET, C++, or Java, I highly recommend them — super fun). My work is on the software side of things. We build enterprise software for customers using competitions through our member base. I’m a project manager (sometimes architect) and have various responsibilities including launching some exciting and lucrative software design and development competitions. I won’t talk about that much in this blog but comment if you are interested.
For fun, I’m mostly a nerd. I do the normal geek stuff - read a lot of blogs, write a bunch of code (.NET mostly), and read a lot of books. I also play some golf (not as much as I’d like) and watch some sports (again, not as much as I’d like).
So, expect tech, sports, possibly a bit of politics, and whatever else is on my mind.
Welcome!
