Hello, world!

Well, I've finally gone and done it. I started a blog. I know it's taken a while, but I'm actually a pretty late adopter of things like this, which I realize is ironic since I am a self-admited geek who does software development for a living. This isn't really going to be a blog in the traditional sense. That is, it's not really going to be a web-based log of my life -- it'll be more like a series of posts only loosely bound together (if at all) outside of the fact that they all originated somewhere in my head, and if the impetus for a post is something I saw or read, even that last part is debatable. I can't guarantee that posting will be a regular occurrence, and I haven't the slightest clue as to how many people will end up seeing any of this, but I figure this is a good way to get out all those thoughts that crop up every now and again, even if only for myself. So I think I'll end the intro post here and see where all this goes. If it crashes and burns, all I've lost is a little time...
