Sometimes I think of this blog as a litmus for how clear my understanding of a particular topic is. At other times I see it as a tiny peephole for tech-curious folks to catch a glimpse of the 'scary' stuff standing on the other side of the door. Today it feels like a pressure valve offering the much needed release from the intense boiling I have experienced in the last 5 months.
Here is a timeline:

Yeah, it's been intense, and I'm loving it! What's the moral of this story? KEEP GOING! Take one step every day; you'll be that much closer to your destination.
