So here I am, about 13 years late. Starting a blog... Getting myself synced up to this modern world. Like a bearded old prospector forsaking his dusty mine to rob a bullet train heading for the future. My beard whips. My eyes well up with tears. Excited by the possibilities, but always aware that this train will never stop, and my grip will eventually weaken. That low hollow note being played is not the sound of the future, it's just the wind tunnel between my ears...
13 years since old Jorn Barger coined the term "weblog" in the days of dinosaurs and dial up. When I was in high school enthralled with chat rooms at my friends house. 11 or so years since Peter Merholz came up with what we use today, "blog." Back when I was a lively Marine in Pensacola Fl. putting my easily earned money into pay-to-play computers in the eclub. Killing Zergs...
So, here we go! Into the future. on to, wait... Why the hell I'm I writing this crap...?
