My first check-in

Hello, world.

When I first created my website, I did so mainly to host my portfolio and just have some sort of online presence. And while I floated the idea of making a blog, each time I sat down to do it, I’d get distracted. Well, I feel like now is finally a good time because I’ve become distracted by something that's important enough to write about.

In a couple weeks, I’ll be moving to New York City for an internship with foursquare.

All of my friends know how much I love foursquare. The gamification and social aspect of mapping your city with your friends is such a unique idea and, not only do I enjoy using the app, but I’m frequently thinking up new ideas on how it could be even better.

And that’s how I got their attention! I’ve been following, emailing, and tweeting with the product and marketing teams practically every week for awhile now (I’m not crazy, I swear). So imagine my surprise when I saw this in my inbox:

Mind blown.

So, in light of this new development, I’ve decided to start this blog as a means of getting my thoughts down about my career trajectory and other nerdy interests. I’m writing this mainly for me, just so I can center myself and reflect on what’s to come. And, if nothing else, I hope you find my ramblings entertaining.

Here goes nothing! Wish me luck as I get ready to live out a dream that once only existed in tweets. I’m excited to do some amazing things.
