Well, here I am. I am now a blogger. Will anyone actually read this?

Hi Readers,

This is my very first post to my very first blog.

I know. I know.

I am not sure how you found this page, maybe it was the errant click during some obscure web search, or maybe you thought you were going to some other person's blog. I guess it doesn't matter how you got here. I appreciate the fact that you read this far.

"If you consider yourself such a geek, how come you haven't had a blog since it was still only the realm of the uber-geeky?", you ask.

Well, let me try and explain. I never thought I had anything interesting to say. I never had a cool trick or creation that I wanted to show the world. You know what I am talking about. The website, post, or video that everyone seems to want to see. Good Morning America material.

I guess I never really got the point of a blog. So it's this online diary that a person can spill his or her guts to world, share baby pictures, complain about work, etc. I never considered my life that interesting that someone would actually take 5 or 10 minutest to read and not ask for that time to added back to their life after reading it.

After looking at many other blogs, I think I finally "got it". I want to use this precious space to talk about things I find interesting in the computer and technology space. I will post links and commentary to stories and subjects that I find interesting. If you feel compelled to respond or would like to merely sit back and read, it is up to you. If you find my ramblings annoying, feel free to look at something else. I won't be hurt. Well, maybe just a little...

Thanks again for reading this and let's have some fun!

Doug
