Alright, I'm sure if you're one of the couple people I have invited to my blog, you may or may not be wondering what a “Dev Theologian” is.
Blame Joe Healy
Blame Joe Healy of Microsoft for it. He inadvertantly gave it to me. Joe is the .Net Evangelist for the local region here in Florida.
It's a rather long story that I won't go heavily into, but in the course of an email conversation, I mentioned to Joe that I have a degree in Theology (actually the official title of my Degree is “B.A. in Christian Ministries”). Joe told me that I was the first Developer Theologian that he had ever met. I liked the name so I'm using it...
So what are you going to do here?
I want to do a comparative between the writings of St. Paul and VB.Net. NOT!!!!
Actually, I use my degree, but it will probably never make me a dime in the religious establishment. Think of my degree more as a Philosophy degree with an emphasis in writing (and ancient books).
So what am I going to talk about in this Blog? Let me start by saying that I love to code, I love new technology, and I love to look at new ways to use technology. So I'm just like everyone else. If anything I'm a mad coder... I have a knack for coming up with unusual ways of using technology (some of which are useful in the right context). I will probably explore some of the philosophical aspects of us developers. I'll also rant from time to time (thank you Rory Blythe for showing me how to rant and be funny about it).
