Welcome! You have arrived at Snippets, probably through clicking the respective button in the menu on top. Here, I will post various items, opinions, and thoughts.
The reason why I have a page like this to begin with is to highlight the importance of writing, especially in a more casual format. For those at Grinnell College, you may be familiar with SamR’s Musings 0. As an avid reader, I have recognized that there is great value in putting my words onto paper that isn’t necessarily tied to some academic journal or newspaper. I also know that I may sometimes have too little to say that may be better suited for a Facebook or Twitter post. Through my writing here, I hope to recollect what I know and to discover something new, perhaps come to realize some epiphany of sorts. This is my opportunity to have an intentional learning moment.
How I arrived at the name, Snippets, is simple. I interact with snippets from all kinds of backgrounds, most prominently dealing with chunks of code when I am programming. However, I listen to sound bites from interviews and podcasts and to samples of songs and beats, which can also be referred to as snippets. Within this context, I am creating my own snippets for audiences to get a glimpse of my mind, thoughts, and work.
