That’s the first thing I wanted to say on my new weblog. Yeah, I know, the only people reading this right now are either my friends who I told to check out my blog ever so surreptitiously through instant messenger conversation or those who have accidentally stumbled across my little piece of the internet and are most likely wondering why they’re still here. Whatever the case, I’m glad you’re taking the time to read this rambling of mine. Since this is my first post, I’m very tempted to just go all-out and start writing about anything and everything that I have stumbled upon in the past few days. I will, however, refrain from doing so. I intentionally started this blog today, being the first day of the new year, so as to set up a boundary for myself, otherwise this post would be ten screens long and I highly doubt any of you would finish (or start for that matter). So with that in mind now, I want to welcome you to my blog and hope you will find reason to return.
Before I officially begin my post, however, I’d like to give credit where credit is due. Although I have been somewhat against weblogs (as I always saw it as a crude attempt at web design), I have found one blog in particular that has shifted my perspective. My new friend, David, has been posting his remarks, opinions, and insights on the world of technology through his blog, My Piece of the Inter(.)net, since October of 2007. Upon reading his blog, I became inspired by the capabilities a blog could hold. All this time I have come across so many discoveries, articles, software, etc. and just wanted to share it with those who shared the same interests and passions as I do. Now through this blog, I hope to do just that. So I invite you to share with me now my dream, my passion, and my life. Ad astra — to the stars!
