Several years ago when web logging or blogs came onto the Internet scene, I said to myself, “No way. Not going there. I won’t have the time. What would I say? Would anyone care?” Well, I’ve caved in, not to peer pressure, but to my own inner voice and Id begging to make a statement, maybe a great many statements.

I’m not a professional writer, though I have written reams of code, documentation, lengthy emails, outlines, essays, some poems, flights of fancy. However, I do consider myself an author with several software titles to my credit. I am articulate (even physically), write reasonable well (for a computer programmer), and have a great many thoughts.

Also I’ve had a fortunate life thus far and live in an interesting part of the world and feel that by expressing my past, present, and future experiences I can share a part of myself with another part of myself (think self diagnostic), the curious, virtual travellers, and real wanderers.

And so it begins.
