Hello World

Hello world

Sorry but I figured that was appropriate 🤣

Welcome to Dad’s Tech Lab!

I’m a tech fanatic, although time is limited now with a wife and kids (I wouldn’t trade it for anything). I have a passion for technology, software development, anything smart home, home labbing, and anything in between there. I’ve done plenty of IT, devops, architecture, and software development over the years, and one thing I’ve learned is that you should never stop learning. You should always push yourself and try new things.

That’s why I’m creating this blog. I want to share with yall (yes I’m southern lol) the things I’ve learned, the things I like to play around with, and I want to learn from yall. Let me know if things can be done better. Let me know if I am stupid doing something a certain way.

Sharing knowledge and even failing is part of the way we get better with anything.

That’s what we’re here for 😊

I’m not going to be formal about things. Being super formal is not how we communicate if we were to see each other outside of a professional setting. And frankly, even in a professional setting, I just like to be myself. What you get is what you see.

And if you can bare with me, I will definitely be talking about my family some. Check out the About page to view more info about me and my family. I love them to death and wouldn’t be where I’m at without the support of my wife, friends, and family.

I’m excited to share this journey with yall. This is my first blog, and really my first time using Hugo to develop the blog. I’m still getting used to Markdown, so it probably won’t be the best formatting for the first several posts. Speaking of which, I think my next post will be discussing setting up this blog :) See you there!
