Look at this! I am just like all those other people who have blogs–spewing text thinking that people will actually care! Certainly, having a point to the first post other than, “This is my first post!” would be a good idea, but I never claimed to have good ideas. Or, if I did, apparently I was wrong.
Don’t expect a whole lot of updates early on. I still have to finish up some significant work on my main webpage and the new MR2 site. At some point, I would like to customize this blog though, because the layout is just too… happy for me. I feel like I should be typing with a Jack-Nicholson grin as opposed to being hunched over with drooping eyelids, looking rather like a zombie. I have not started eating flesh yet, but I do not think I am far from that as the dead-man groans are already starting…
So how come you’re using this instead of LJ now?
Well, this software runs on my own server (and my own subdomain) and is basically fully customizable, so it is much more powerful than simply using livejournal or another free site. It’s also much easier to organize entries. I can blend this much more smoothly with my other sites. The posts here will mostly be non-personal (no, “I got up today and stubbed my toe and it ruined my whole day” posts). Of course my personality will come through, particularly in my attempt to insult every major institution that sucks (which is about 98% of them). I have even considered converting my main site to a blog, since that would be much easier to maintain, but I am still against that idea… for now. But anyway, welcome to my cave!
