Hello world!

I suppose the logical question to ask at this juncture is, “Why am I starting a blog?”. Well first, I’m required to create a blog for my IAT 401 class this semester. If I were only interested in getting the credits though, I’d just make a MySpace account, post a few “Emo” entries about how spiffy my hair is, and be done of it. Instead, I’ve installed WordPress on my server, customized it a little, and appear to be settling in for a longer stay.
So why am I starting a blog? The goal is really to catalog work on the various projects I start (and occasionally even finish). Not all of them are worthy of showcasing on my website, but all are interesting in some way and I feel they deserve some exposure. Perhaps the solutions I discover will be of interest to others - perhaps not. At the very least, I’ll be able to look back and remember what I’ve done with my time. It will be a little like a high-tech “engineering log” I suppose, (though I doubt I’d be very successful at arguing patent rights with a blog).
As time goes on, I’ll likely throw in some personal posts as well, just to thoroughly confuse things. I have my Flickr photos on the sidebar, so it’s headed in that direction already.
