Why blog?

As a lifelong geek and a long time Internet user, it seems natural that I should put together a blog of some sort. Add the fact that I'm a liberal in a pretty conservative industry (hardware retailing) and it seems even more natural that I'd want to post my thoughts, ideas, activities, and other assorted ramblings online for others to read and comment on. So, this is a starting point for the blog. It might not go anywhere from here, or it might turn into something I update regularly. Stay tuned (or not).
