Forty-Two Million Introductions

In The Beginning...
  Well, hello, everyone! And by "everyone", I mean the zero to five people who are reading this, I'm sure. I've never been much of a blogger--I started one in 2008, wrote three or four posts, and never touched it again. I just usually consider myself boring, and think no one wants to read what I write...

  Okay, this is a terrible way to begin a blog. Let's start again. You can call me Daniel, or IceMetalPunk, or IMP--whichever you like. I've often noticed I have a habit of starting hobby projects, then never finishing them. I used to think that was a flaw, but now I wonder...maybe I'm just very good at having ideas! So even if I don't finish anything, if I put the ideas out there, someone is bound to like one of them enough to try it for themselves, right?

What's Up With This Blog?
     I'm a computer science major at uni now (soon to graduate and then become a starving web developer looking for an employer...hire me...please hire me...). I've developed quite a few websites, apps, and games on multiple systems. I also write fiction in my spare time, mostly science fiction, but also some drama work (and one comedy screenplay...sort of). That's in addition to the poetry I write. I also play Magic: the Gathering, and design custom cards for it. AND I digitally compose music as well.
    The problem is, of the hundreds of things I've worked on in all of the above categories...maybe 10 have come to completion. I have a nasty habit of shifting my focus partway through a project and then never returning later, leaving me with far more ticks in the "Never Finishing" column than the "I'm Proud To Present" column. Consider me a Jack of Many Trades, Finisher of None. And so this blog is my attempt to at least write down my ideas as they come, so that people who might find this one day can say, "Oh, wow, that's a great idea! I'm going to make this a reality!" Or perhaps I might do that one day, revisiting all my old blog posts and finally mustering up the motivation to complete one.
    Also, don't worry: I'll be playing around with the themes and finding something fancier than plain white "paper".

And That Was...How Many Ideas, Again?
    Forty-Two Million. That's 42,000,000 (or 42.000.000 for my European friends). Do I plan on ever reaching that number? Hell, no. Even if I had a new idea every day, that would still be... *to the Google Calculator!* 115 millennia! But I do hope to post at least one new idea each week, on average. I'm sure I'll have slow weeks, and busy weeks, and completely insane and hectic weeks, but on average, once a week this blog will see a new idea. I'm not restricting my ideas to one category, either--any ideas in any subject are fair game.
     A quick note on formatting: for now, I think I'll be calling all my ideas "Doors", after the saying "when one door closes, another opens". These ideas have all mostly closed their doors on my life, but they can very easily be pried open to let you in, dear reader :) .

Who Can Realize These Dreams Of Mine (Poetry in Headings)?
     Anyone who wants to make or anything I post in this blog a reality is free to do so. Just please have the decency to credit me and/or contact me to let me know it's happening :) . Thanks!
