I’ve done a little more work on the blog, specifically to bring it up to WordPress v1.5. I don’t think this really means anything to anyone but me, except to say that there may be some weird stuff going on in the short term.

While I’m writing about the blog, I have received a lot of compliments on the design and writing of the blog. Thank you, everyone. I have spent a lot of time on it, and for that I have Jennifer to thank. Based on the amount of time I have spent as a web application developer, technical writer, graphic artist, photographer and web designer, it could be better; it’s good enough for me and that’s what matters.

This blog started out for me as the zillionth in an even longer string of gadgets for me to play with, but I have really taken to it for several reasons. First, I get all sorts of compliments for it, and I definitely am all about that. Second, because of the whole blog phenomenon that is going on, I feel like I’m part of something cool, that I missed out on when I graduated college and took a job that was less glamorous than what I once dreamed of. Third, it’s therapeutic to sit down and sort out my thoughts for the day, to look back on things with a little humor and perspective. Last, it’s yet another way to capture a little bit of what this part of my life is like and to share it with my friends and family. Someone noted that the way I write is different than the way I talk, and that’s very true. I don’t know how to explain it except to say that my “comfort zone” is far larger in the world of computers than it is in the world of people. At least it is today.
