Hello there, welcome to the blog of Edwin Finch.
Here's why this blog exists:
- I do not post on social media, but I still want to share things that I feel are important.
- I want to become more articulate, and writing is a great way to practise that.
There'll be no particular schedule for posting; I'm going to write sporadically as I am working through challenging problems or feel the need to publicly share a thought or experience.
If you want to contact me about anything I've written here, you can find my contact info on www.EdwinFinch.com.
