People have asked me how did you think of and choose the username "gtengineer?" I graduated from Georgia Tech with a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering. As a result, I am a gtengineer.

Long Awaited Blog Posting

2012-01-22T18:40:00.001-05:00

Well I started this blog about nine months or so ago and am now getting to my second posting. Clearly, I'm not a hardcore blogger. Recently, I have posted a couple of videos on Youtube so I guess I am making progress on at least one front. I did buy a new HD camcorder so that should help.

2011 was a good year for me. Work kept me pretty busy. I did find some time get out and hit the range. Lately, I've been planning some things I want to accomplish in 2012. While I am usually not a planner, I do think it is nice to have some goals. For example, in 2012 I hope to buy a house, spend a week at the Sig Sauer Academy, perform a 1,000 yard shot (at the Sig Academy), and get up to the Smokey Mountains and do some hiking and camping. As I complete some of the things on my goals list I'll do my best to blog about them.

My First Blog Posting

2011-05-06T22:22:00.001-04:00

Well, after all the thinking and procrastinating, I've decided to create a blog. I've actually been spending some time checking out other people's blogs and getting a sense of what others blog about. I would say that some people really do blog about nothing, but if a person is interested in a topic and takes the time to blog about it, then I guess it is important to them. Besides, I'm sure people will look at my blog (probably not a lot of people) and think I'm blogging about lame things.

So what are some things I plan to blog about? Actually, I don't really see a set of topics I'll try to focus on. More than likely it'll just be random topics. I'm sure that a pattern will eventually develop. That being said, I must say I've been very impressed with the blog of "The Traveler" (www.faliaphotography.com). I actually stumbled upon her blog after seeing some of her videos on Youtube while looking for IWB (inside the waistband) holsters. She blogs about things I enjoy such has traveling, camping, target shooting, etc. I also see me posting some blogs about past experiences such as my experiences living in Minnesota for three years after being born and raised in Georgia.

Well, I think this is enough for my first blog posting. I'm sure I'll find some other stuff to post later, but for now, this will have to do. Plus, I want to play around with the settings and get my blog configured the way I like it.

Please feel free to follow me, leave comments, provide feedback, and all that other good stuff.
