What are you passionate about?
Refresh Cleveland is a group devoted to members of the Northeast Ohio community that are passionate about technology and the web. Some people have asked what they should write about on this site. Here’s a topic to start y’all off: what are you passionate about? What aspect of the web, and technology as a whole, interests you and drives you to learn more?
For me, it’s the idea of communication and the constant learning process that is an integral part of technology. I’m a designer–I sometimes jokingly say that I “make things look pretty,” but for me it’s about more than just creating designs that are pleasing to the eye. It’s about communicating visually and allowing the visual aspects of a design to help others understand an idea.
It’s also about mastering a craft, which is tricky and frustrating, but also rewarding. Every time I “get” a new concept, I feel a sense of triumph. Even so I know that I’m never finished learning, because the face of the web is constantly changing. It morphs into something new every month and every year.
Working with the web is a constant adventure. It involves discovery, mastery and the occasional conquest. It may not be mountain climbing, but it can be just as exhilarating when you finally figure out a concept that’s been itching at that little corner of your brain just beyond comprehension. That’s what drives me and makes me continue in this field.
What drives you?
