I really have no business doing this. With a full-time job and fur children to take care of otherwise, little of my time is my own to command, I am not a professional writer, nor do I immerse myself in the sea of information, news, and popular culture which might make this more interesting. But a note by Bjorn Staerk impelled me to dip my toe in the water.

Perhaps it’s some long-repressed creative urge, or latent exhibitionism. No doubt there will be few readers at first and not many more later. I can never hope to the same level of quantity or quality as the Mozart of the weblog, but as I find my voice and my wits these posts may someday repay the reading.
