Dear Internet: I'm Sorry

I can't tell you -- seriously, can't -- how many times I've started blogs for different reasons, but I NEVER KEEP THEM GOING because they don't serve a real use for me. Let's face it: I spin these things up because I have an overinflated value of my own opinion at some point or another, or because I think somebody, somewhere might care about some insight or other that I've (rather haphazardly) stumbled over as a software professional.

And there they sit, with one or two published (and usually a stack of never-published) posts, languishing on Blogger until I either dust them off (briefly) or killing them (most often).

But here's the thing: I'm in a place in my career now where a lot of friends and co-workers are now spread out across several companies and locations, and when I come across fun or useful things, I'd like to put them in one place and let others come and get them... and if they really care, they can follow the blog. And I might even need to be reminded that I saw or thought something at one time or another.

So, I'm dusting this thing off (again). So, Internet, I'm sorry. You don't need another programming blog. But here goes.
