Goals for Manic Melon

ManicMelon.com was devised with a specific purpose and goal. In fact, careful planning went into the strategy and concept behind this project.

I'm a planner by nature. As such, even my personal blog was planned out not only in design, but in purpose and goals. Some may find that odd. Those who know me would probably be surprised if I did it any other way. Let me share with you the purpose and goals behind this blog.
