This is my latest attempt at a blog. My previous attempts were of lower quality than what I had envisioned, so I'm taking another whack at it. Ideally, I'm trying to model myself as a one-man Slashdot, bringing forth news and articles most important to me, and hopefully, you, the reader.
So what does "most important to me" mean? This means that what you'll read will include:
- Hardcore geek stuff, like C# code samples.
- Articles culled from IT news sources, such as Slashdot.
- Articles of interest (or humor) from other general sources, like Fark.
- Reviews of software and gizmos.
- More hardcore geek stuff, like Star Wars book reviews.
- Thoughts and comments on video gaming, particularly Xbox and Xbox 360.
- Occasional musings on the Kansas City Chiefs.
- Occasional thoughts on fatherhood and family. Expect to see cute photos of my kid from time to time.
- Maybe, possibly, a very rare comment about Freemasonry (my fraternity) or the Knights Templar.
What you won't read here:
- Anything overly political and/or of an inflammatory religious nature. Suffice to say, I am basically libertarian in all my beliefs, religious and political, and to me that implies that my beliefs are mine, yours are yours, and it's not my responsibility to bring you to my way of thinking. I believe in a supreme being and in civil liberty. That's as far as I'm willing to affirm my faith and politics in the eyes of the public.
- Anything overly critical of Commerce Bank, my employer. Constructive criticism is one thing. Openly biting the hand that feeds you is just stupid. So, from this point forward, pay heed to the disclaimer listed on this blog (the one about how my opinions are not those of my employer).
Without further ado, let the blogging begin. Thanks for reading!
