Starting to blog...?

OK, this is really my second blogging experience. I'm currently the 'blogger in residence' for the INFORMS Computing Society. Though I'm still trying to figure out what that means, I blogged the last INFORMS Annual Meeting .

So, why this blog? I do a lot of software development at Sandia National Laboratories, mostly focused on scientific computing and optimization. The more I work with open-source projects, the more I realize that I should archive some of my 'lessons learned'. Although I like to publish papers, a blog is a better way to informally share information!
