It was this month last year that I decided to start this web blog. A year has passed and it’s time to reflect.
cmalabs symbolizes a change in my online behaviour. It was a move away from personal blogging because I became more self conscious about privacy.
It’s a place for me to discover my true interests by writing about them. A place to experiment with different styles of writing. A public diary, not a personal diary, but a diary of things I’ve thought about or found interesting. A diary addressed to my future self about ureka moments I’ve had, and about how naive those urekas will seem when I read it again in the future.
It was going to be a central place where I store all my interesting projects, none of which I’ve started.
Today, it is a place for me to experiment with writing. I was hoping that the topics I write about would converge, and through that I could discover what my true interests are. I consider something a true interest if you can talk or write on and on about without getting bored. Until today blog.cmalabs.com is still filled with completely unrelated topics. So I’m far from reaching my goal. The origin of the name “mustard and orange peel” reflects that. “Charles’s blog” sounds too boring, but it’s impossible to categorize what was going to write about because the topics will be too random.
This website might be a year old, but it’s only been active for two month. That is its true age. Hopefully after a year of activity, I’ll be just a little closer to my goal.
