I'm blogging on my personal site

http://majidaldo.github.io

I'm proud that I've kept this blog going since January 2012. That's 7 years!

Throughout this time I've made a transition from 'mechanical engineering' (in quotes because I was formally trained in mechanical engineering but didn't practice it) to data science.

Also throughout this time, I resisted making my own site. I saw that it was 'cool' to use a static site generator from ~2015 onward. Jekyll was looking pretty cool!

I resisted because I wanted to just be able to write my content and publish it and I was okay with forfeiting customization. But you can only resist for so long!

In the end I settled on making my own site using Lektor. Hopefully I can figure out how to include mathematical symbols and Jupyter notebooks...later. :D
