OK. I finally got off the fence pertaining to journaling and modern blogging. It's funny, because I have been doing this on the Internet in one form or another since 1998 but never very seriously.
Long ago it was on web sites that I developed myself. Then came LiveJournal, but that went into the toilet quickly.
What has been the hang-up as of late? I'm not sure. I'm happy that technology has matured to the point where I can use it with ease. Maybe I'm just happy to be using a service that the good ol' engineers at Google develop and maintain.
What can you expect to find here? Judging from where my mind has been lately, which is typically in the gutter, you'll find writings on technology, photography, politics, social relations, political economy, San Francisco Bay Area, language, film, music, and other musings. I care a lot about technology; and since that occupies my thoughts, I am afraid much of this will focus on that. I will, however, try to keep the technological hegemony at bay. Please be patient.
I am not a very private person when it comes to my interpersonal relationships, but the political and social climate of the United States scare me. Because of this, a lot of activities and feelings will be omitted from the written record. I only mention this as a caveat in assessing my thoughts and me.
I should note that I have a terrible tendency to look at writing syntactically and not for how it reads. This is something that I will attempt to sweep aside in favor of more natural writing. Academic and professional writing come easily for me. Many a friend have joked that I would have made a good bureaucrat or cabinet minister.
In closing, I do want to remind everyone that the content contained herein does not represent the views of my employer nor should it be construed in such a way.
