What?

So, as my first foray into the W's, I suppose that "what" is the best place to start. Or at least as good of a place as any.

This is going to be a blog.

This is a place where I will apply my RL training (engineer) to game problems.

This is going to discuss matters of interest to me. 

This is going to be intermediate-to-advanced, as far as EVE-depth goes. I hope to write about things simply enough that even beginners can find some usefulness in it, but I don't plan to handcuff myself inside of the realm of what a beginner can fully understand.

This is going to discuss matters as varied as EVE itself. Some posts will delve into a specific mechanic. Some posts will look into a specific ship. Some will be about the meta-game. Some will be about something cool that happened to me. I'm not limiting myself on content possibilities, but if you are interested in what is more likely to show up here, I'll point you to the "Who?" post.

The basic idea here is that I like to look at a situation and look for the unexpected. If everyone says that a particular ship is bad, for example, my immediate reaction is "Yeah, but what is it good for?" This is the type of attitude that I plan to bring to any topic I bring to the table--looking for something non-obvious, and hopefully insightful.

The other hope is that this will turn into a place where I can do my part to collect and record some of the EVE knowledge I've acquired, to make it easier on the new guys. There is a lot of good info out there on EVE, and there is a lot that is a little sub-par. I'm definitely not perfect, but I hope to keep the information at a high quality level, so that you can know that if you read it here, it's pretty likely to be true.

The final thought that is worth mentioning here is that the goal is for this to be a place where you come, read a post, and leave a slightly better EVE-pilot in some way. While I am interested in "newsy" matters, I'd love for most of what I write to be a bit more timeless, and there is enough of interest in EVE that I think I don't have to turn to news to keep enough interesting topics on the table. To really draw the distinction here, I, for example, wouldn't be particularly interested in making a post on the recent "NEX riots", for the sake of the news of it... why the people are doing it, and such. I might, however, take a look at how people shooting at monuments for days on end impacted the ammo markets around that time, because that's an interesting trend that could be turned into profit if something similar happens again.

I hope that sheds a bit of light as to what you can expect from this, because I'm not sure what else to say, except... wait and see!

TL;DR:
It's a place for my random thoughts on bits of EVE to see the light of day, and hopefully a place you can come on occasion to broaden your EVE horizons.
