+Many of the posts on this blog are about Emacs. This is primarily because a very large portion of my time on a computer is spent inside it.</p>
+<p>
+Like your typical Emacs user, I regularly fall into the rabbit hole of refining my customization to my satisfaction only to be unsatisfied about it in sometime.</p>
+<p>
+This has caused me to spend a significant amount of time customizing it and learning a few things in the process.</p>
