Ha!

I've wanted a Blog since I first heard about 'em. I couldn't tell you why, however. Just one of those irrational things that don't bear explanation, even if you had one.

I just think the word sounds cool.

Blog.

Kinda beautiful and putrid at the same time. It starts out rolling nicely off your tongue and then collapses at the end, face down in the gutter.

But that's just incidental. The frosting, if you'll forgive the bad cliche.

I see people using their blogs for spewage. I suppose I may do some of that here too.

Others are using their blogs to post technical solutions to problems. If I discover anything worthwhile that I couldn't find on a T.S. web site, I'll put it up. Not that I'm a technogeek or anything. I just hate it when a company has crappy technical support. Maxell, are you listening? But before I digress too far . . . .

I'm mystified by one thing, however: Some people are putting up blogs (me) and they aren't really sure who or what will be reading it and why. Just some random info up on the internet. You never know if it has any worth. Is that okay? Or is that even moral or ethical? If nobody reads what you've written, have you just wasted your time and effort?

Eh, who cares? I don't. It changes my life not at all!

I think I may just be jonesing to write something. Anything. Some of it will be spewage, I have little doubt. Other stuff I write may be worthy of some attention. (Is THAT what it's all about? A bunch of us attention-whores hoping for a little recognition? It feels pretty close to the mark.)

Stay tuned. If you're there. I'll put up more spewage some time.
