The idea is, I have been a software engineer for the past three decades.

I REALLY love my profession (even though now, it���s pretty much sitting in meetings all day), but I love it.

I have a few projects I always wanted to do, because I just want to do them because they are useful to me.

I have architected and coded hundreds of giant projects. At this point, building anything with the big web frameworks just seems exhausting.

I have decided to bring each of these pet projects to fruition and then document how and why i made each decision.

Every project will be using smalltalk as the data store. If the project is a website, I will use seaside as the web framework. Otherwise, I���ll use the teapot as an API interface.

The series of articles I will write will be aimed at people in my position. People who are familiar with software development, and would like to read about it at a higher than tutorial level.

In the end, I���ll end up with:

- an application of some sort that scratches my own itch
- a pile of articles outlining how i designed the tool set for the application.

and in reality, it���s gonna be thinly veiled Smalltalk evangelism.

But i think it might be worthwhile to talk about this stuff in a pubilc platform.
