My First Blog Post

These days it seems that everyone and their pets have their own personal web log. It actually is an amazing thing. For the first time in human history, everyone with access to the world wide web is able to share ideas and information with the entire world. This is a milestone in our civilization’s history which will rival, in terms of importance, the invention of the printing press.

On this page, you will find some random thoughts and rantings of yours truly, should you be interested.

[Note: This was the text of the very first blog post I ever wrote — some day in January of 2005. At the time, everything was straight HTML, which I coded by hand and an early version of DreamWeaver because I wanted to experiment and learn. Content management systems such as WordPress, which first appeared in 2003, were in their infancy, so I didn’t initially go that route. Instead, I stuck with simple HTML for five years before making the switch. In 2017, I thought it would be fun to re-read the old posts and integrate most of them into the current platform).
