Greetings friends, family, cohorts, peers, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera!
I expect the focus of this blog will evolve over time - but for the moment I plan for this public diary to span personal, political, and professional topics ranging from Software Engineering to liberty to the value of human life - body, soul, and spirit.
I have read that most blogs are read by at most a dozen people - so I will approach this public/private endeavor with an expectation that most of my readers are already acquainted with me in some way. Clay Shirkey makes some great observations about the weirdness of this phenomenon in his book Here Comes Everybody - writing a blog is like having a conversation in the food court of a mall - it is sort of private, but eavesdroppers abound. In the blogosphere however, this behavior is encouraged :)
