THE 2ND PLACEHOLDER POST

Your writing doesn’t have to be perfect for a blog. It only needs to be reasonably readable — and reasonably formatted (which you still have to do anyway even for a piece written by someone else).

I am the author and owner of Ramen Freak. I work in Windows and Linux mobile computing for a boring, colorless, publicly listed corporation in East Coast USA.

The 3rd placeholder post
What's the most incredible coincidence that ever happened to you?
“What if I’ve already deleted those placeholder posts? What if I’ve posted a few posts already?”
