Greetings friends, visitors, and computer bots scouring the web. I've decided to add the title of blogger to my short (maybe non-existent) list of credentials. I've been reluctant to do so up until now. There's something about blogs that intrigue me. Ideas and thoughts have been rattling around in my head about what a blog is and what mine should be like. I don't know that I've come up with a definitive answer, but I'm going to give it a go anyway.
I guess I intend to use this site as a branch of social media (to use a term I hate to hear used). I'll be the first to tell you that I'm horrible at staying in touch with friends on the phone or via email, but I have found that I enjoy reading blog postings from friends and seeing their pictures to catch up on what's going on in their lives. I have occasionally come across a website, picture, gadget or thought that I would like to share with others, and I figured this could be a good way to do it.
There are a couple of rules that I've put in place for myself. #1 Stay away from talking too much about work and the company I work for. Too many people have gotten themselves in trouble with this on the web, and I work in a highly regulated industry that is just sometimes best left to discussion over wings at BW3's #2 Don't post boring stuff to just post. I understand that everything I say won't be close to interesting to some, but I'll try to stay away from the mundane minute by minute posts (insert overly excited voice) "I went to the grocery store!!"
I look forward to the adventure ahead...
