I’ve wanted to write blog posts for a while now. I always thought someone out there would care what I had to say. But I’ve been stuck. That last sentence I wrote is actually a perfect example of why I’ve been stuck, and why I have trouble expressing myself outside of my science/engineering YouTube videos; I care what people think. I just went to Google to make sure it was okay to start a sentence with the word ‘but’. I wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to get called out for poor grammar.
I like being an engineer and creating engineering videos. It’s something I’m good at. You’ll sometimes hear, “go into engineering/math/science if you like when there’s only one correct answer”. I think the beauty of engineering is that there are multiple ways to solve the same problem, some better than others. But it’s up to you to weigh the pros and cons of each method and present the best solution. I try to present the best method when I create videos, the method where the viewer will learn the most and gain a deep understand of the topics. And this is where blogging and my videos differ. I’ll start to venture into topics of which I don’t consider myself an expert.
I’ve read articles about how to get started, what a good blog contains, and how to keep readers interested. Adding pictures to break up the content always seems like a good idea. I figured I would find one of those free stock image sites and search for writer’s block, and I came up with this.
This is because it decreases blood flow to the tissue of the cheap cialis prices browse for source penis causing impotence. This get viagra cheap like this is useful to cure all types of impotence. Those suffering from this issue are unable to maintain the pop over to these guys super levitra stiffness of your male organ for the complete coition, are suffering from erectile dysfunction. A lot of pain, limited mobility; viagra online sample even breathing makes it hurt more.
Although I believe that deep down, everyone cares what other people think to a certain extent, I envy those that can fully put themselves out there. It’s not easy being criticized, especially not for all to see. Maybe one day I’ll get to that point. For now, the most important thing is to get started. This is my starting point. Maybe my second post will be about something non-controversial, like green peppers, just to ease into it. Here goes nothing.
Hey Josh, you’re not alone in this feeling, I just began to write about my stuff and I’ve got the same issues! I believe that it is just too far-fetched for most people to get interested by (not so) advanced topics in engineering.
If you take my (rather arid, by now) blog content, for example, it might be likely that you don’t feel remarkably interested on it. That’s the trade-off of specializing, I guess… The more you know about something, the less people will be interested!
I think that’s because most people get inspired by the results we get, not by the long, dirty and (sometimes) boring road we’ve had to go through to achieve them. But if it makes you feel better, the small audience (like me!) that has interest by the engineering topics you make videos about has A LOT of interest! It’s just that most of the times we don’t manifest ourselves through comments =)
Stay strong!
Hey Fernando, thanks for taking the time to read this and comment! I notice you from YouTube, and I appreciate that you keep coming back to my videos and now my website. I know that there are definitely some people like you out there that are interested in the nitty-gritty details of my videos, and it’s nice when you reach out and say hi! Keep up the good work on your blog too!
