Whilst wandering reddit yesterday, a poster brought up that he was considering putting together a notebook for his daughter. The idea was that it would contain advice that she might need when she grows up. Some advice would be practical; always keep rubbing alcohol in the house, if you open a banana from the bottom it’s easier to not make a mess, or that you should always have quick access to $200 cash. Of course, some advice would cover more general practices, philosophies and general life lessons.
And here we are, with me somewhat shamelessly stealing the idea and making it digital. My plan for the blog is to very loosely offer the same sorts of things. I’d especially like to take some time offering practical advice that I’ve figured out on my own. Of course, as time goes by, topics may expand to cover a broad range of things.
Another small quirk – this site is really for my kids. Posts will be written to them, so don’t be put off by me talking to “you” because I am really talking to “them.”
And finally, reader participation is encouraged. If you’ve got a piece of advice that you don’t think anyone should live without, please send it in. Links will be on the site for email.
