I picked a fine time to start a blog.  Now its the middle of December and I’m late doing a lot of important things already.  Let me tell you the two things that drove me to start it now.

First, I often have a lot to say.  In fact, sometimes I am said to “rant”, to write “essays”, and to “lecture” people.  Perhaps a blog will be a good outlet for me to express myself and get comments from the handful of people on the globe who care to read it.  Just maybe I can even learn to write more better :) starting with being more concise.

Second, I need to learn some new things.  WordPress is one of them.  There is a long list of others.  My livelihood depends on me keeping up with new technologies and tools so I can consult, recommend and support clients on what they need now.

I’ve actually been thinking about starting this blog for several months now, and finally made a start.  I won’t be able to spend a lot of time on it until at least after Christmas though, so it will be a while before either the content or the presentation amounts to much.
