About

Hello, I’m Jim Nielsen.

In the past, I put off writing because I was unable to do my best—“if you can’t do something right, don’t do it at all”.

But lately I’ve found myself regretting not writing down at least something.

So my current posture towards blogging is: something is better than nothing.

Stats

Some stats around my blog. They don’t mean anything — it’s just fun to output numbers from the dataset that is my blog. Read into this what you will, as Homer Simpson once said, “You can come up with statistics to prove anything. 40% of all people know that.”
