Erator's Sandbox

Somewhere, I don't know where, I read writing is a good exercise for your mind because it forces you to put your thoughts together and come up with something that makes sense (most of the times). Today, or tonight really, I'm taking the first step in a new direction that will force me to write something here daily. I really want to keep my word this time, I will begin by writing my about page, as a quick intro so anyone who wonders here one day, might care to know who I am or who I was. Also, who knows, maybe my children will read this one day and wonder just what the heck I was thinking. Live and let live.

As if it wasn't obvious, I haven't been updating my blog as often as I should or would like to. So in order to save face, I usually update my twitter account . You can also stalk--err follow me on friendfeed . I need to reconsider the purpose of this blog and if I'm really going to follow up on it. Until then, happy browsing -- you know where to find me.

First of all, you have to setup the blog, but that's not really hard, because in this case Blogger makes it super easy to create a blog and get going in no time. Personally, the hardest part is actually blogging. Yes, I'm talking about clicking on the "New Post" link and actually writing something to share with whoever happens to find your blog. Then there's the actual reason of blogging (btw, not sure if it's "blogging" or "bloging"). Most friends couldn't care less about reading blogs or blogging themselves, and generally dismiss them, but in today's age, where blogs are so common and plentiful, I think they're great, because now I can have conversations and read information that other people took the time to type and share with complete strangers, and I think that has a lot of value in today's small world. It's not often you hear a stranger tell you, "Hey, check out how I turn this Diet Coke into a geyser!"
