Every new project requires a "Hello World!", so here's one. This is a blog of Michał Nowak.

Why Blog?

This blog was created out of my necessity to write. For some reason I feel a strong urge to write. It helps me think straight, it's a security valve to release excessive mental pressure.

I realized recently I really like to write, even though it's hard sometimes. Most of the time in fact... But I like it and I think I can get good at it.

What Is This Blog About?

I don't know. I haven't created a theme for it on purpose. I need a place to dump my thinking. I'll revisit the purpose in a couple of months to see what are the topics I cover most often. Or not.

What To Expect Then?

If you really want to know what to expect then here's the list of my Instapaper folders. I create them to store precious stuff I found online. I've noticed that Instapaper keeps the chronological order of those folders so this is how my interests evolved over the last couple of years, with explanations.

Are Your a "Frustrate"?

Sometimes. The name of this blog means exactly 'a frustrate' in Polish, my native language.

You can also read it as Fruitful Strategy or Frugal Strategy. 'Fru' is also the sound of something thrown into the air in Polish. So it can be Fru into the Stratosphere :)

See you around!
