-    A new thing
+    %h3 A[nother] New Thing
+    %p
+      So I've decided to try to resurrect this blogging thing yet again. I've detected a pattern,
+      which I'm sure is very common, where I study new things in sprints. During these periods I
+      get super excited and nerd out. I just want this place to be a vehicle where I share what
+      I'm learning. I'm no writer, so I apologize for the delivery if it is lacking.
+
+    %p Thanks for reading. Drop me a comment when something is helpful, or wrong.
