2002 Called and Told Me to Start a Blog

I distinctly remember driving down to San Diego in the summer of 2002.  I had all of my belongings in a Toyota Corolla and was listening to an NPR show about these new things called "blogs".  I thought, "Wow, that name sucks, but it's a great idea".  Now, nearly eight years later, I'm finally crossing it off my to-do list.  I'm hoping to get in on this trend before it's made obsolete by the new 3-D internets.

My plan here is to talk about ways to find information.  As a software engineer, I have to keep updated on the latest tech trends and innovations.  Seeking out the latest news is the first thing I do when I wake up, the last thing I do before bed, and often what I'm doing while waiting in line at the grocery store.

It seems like most new bloggers crank out 4 or 5 posts before calling it quits.  Let's see how long I can keep this going.

PS - Happy 2010!

This will probably be way over my head, but I'm willing to give it a try. I hope your blog doesn't get outsourced to Canada like your 1st San Diego job did.
