Hello! I’m Emmanuel Morales, and I’m a student attending a local community college. I’ve long followed the technology industry and I’d thought I’d get back to writing about it.
Did I just say “get back”? Yes. You see, years ago I authored The Great Bit Bucket as a personal column which mostly covered technology. I had lost my drive to post and the column slowly faded into oblivion, although I’m sure there are remnants somewhere on the Internet.
Why “The Great Bit Bucket”? Well, it all started with a video of Steve Jobs announcing the death of Mac OS 9, and that the company would bet the farm on OS X. He said that OS 9 went to the great bit bucket in the sky. I liked that name, and it stuck.
I watched John Gruber describe Daring Fireball as his personal column. That really hit home with me. As I began to see this space as my personal column, my love for writing was rekindled.
And so it begins, again.
