On the first day....

If you came here from Facebook, you did because I said that I was planning to make some changes. If not, and you just found your way here, then bear with me for a bit.

Some things have come up in my life that have made me take a look at where I am and where I am going. I have decided that I am going to make some changes to my life......welcome to the first. When I was younger, I fancied myself a bit of a writer. Whether I was any good at I don't really know but I do know that I enjoyed it, and I am not sure why I stopped. To that end, I have decided to get back into writing again.

Having said that, I have seen too much writing that I do not want to take part in, so I thought I would write out some ground rules. Here is what you will see here (if you decide to follow it):

- I plan on posting at least twice a week unless I am away on vacation, then all bets are off.
- It is going to be a mash up of a number of things.....things I have been thinking strongly about, technology (as I am bit of a geek), gaming, and some other things.
- Any other changes, and there are going to be a few, will get a posting here. This is mostly so I can go back and remember who I am.
- I don't want this to be a vacuum, so comments will be encouraged. If we get into a good debate, great...if not, that is great too.
- If I end up with precisely zero people reading this, that is ok. As a favorite writer once wrote "I don't care who listens, plane rides are three dollars."

Also, I wanted to not only say what this would be, but also what it wouldn't be:

- This won't be a long Twitter feed. I don't care what you do every minute of your day, and I don't think anyone is interested in the details of my life. To be frank, I don't think that there is anything interesting that can be said in 140 characters, which is why I never got into it.
- It won't be a soapbox. If I write any thoughts I have, and you are interested in talking about them, that is ok....but I am not trying to change anyone's mind.
- It won't be a troll bridge. If you know me, you know that I have a weird sense of humor, and I also don't mind a lot of talk. There is very little that I will yellow card, but I will if something is over the line.

I think that about covers it for now. I might read this in a week and decide to change it all, who knows? Let's see where this leads.

Continued on day two.....
