BLOGbaseMe(Introductions) = Hello world!

Sunday, March 8th, 2009

I have never been a stranger to technology, and so I will begin this blog in the way I begin all such technological endeavors with a “Hello world!”.  I have now written that statement or its equivalent so many times, in the context of many different systems and programming languages, that I have lost count.   But alas I am not a programmer…

What (or better who) am I then you might ask, I am an autodidact, or as Richard Feynman might have described, a curious character.  I want to know the hows and whys behind almost anything that I find intriguing.   And when I do find out something new and wonderful; I want to teach, inform and show others what can be done with this knowledge.   And this is why I also consider myself a raconteur; I love to tell a good story, as well as uncover one.

I don’t really find maintaining a blog to be challenging at all.  The challenge for me will be in seeing what I can do with this blog and how I can encorporate it into my overall presence which I have been building on the web.   My other challenge will be to both post items that will be interesting to others as well as myself.  I plan on posting to this blog stories about things that interest me, discoveries that I’ve made, ideas that I would like to explore and any random items that have inspired me.

So, as is often the case, it is now very early (1:19 AM on Sunday morning) and I must get to bed.   Big trucks are coming in the moring to remove 9 tree stumps so we can plant our blueberry bushes this spring, but this is a story for another day…good night.
