About

Hello, I’m Jim Nielsen.

As Steven King said, writing is refined thinking. This is where I refine my thinking.

Also, FWIW: I take lots of notes as I read, they’re like blog post seedlings. I keep them at notes.jim-nielsen.com

Stats

Some stats around my blog. They don’t mean anything — it’s just fun to output numbers from the dataset that is my blog. Read into this what you will, as Homer Simpson once said, “You can come up with statistics to prove anything. 40% of all people know that.”
