The Original Blurb – 4/10/2008
This weblog (or blog) is an ongoing journal of interesting technical tidbits that drift by. While this may not appeal to everybody, there’s the definite possibility that somebody may enjoy this. And, hey, there’s even the possibility that some of those people may enjoy contributing to this blog. Wouldn’t that be funny?
Greetings and Salutations! – 4/10/2008
(The Extended Blurb)
For the longest time, although I been engaged in building lots and lots of different systems, micro- to mega-sized, for a variety of employers and clients, I haven’t devoted any time to constructing my own blog. And, yes, I’ve started and maintained a bunch of internal corporate blogs, but it’s just not the same.
For quite some time (even during those zany workdays where I’d be massively multi-developing projects), I’d have something pop up that I’d think, “Hey, Steve, if only you had a place to post this info… other folks may actually find this stuff interesting/useful/funny/worthy-of-saving…”
So I rummaged around the blogosphere, looking occasionally at the selection of somewhat quirky blogs and personapages, thinking, “Gee, if only these folks would allow others to contribute to their posts, it’d be ‘funner’ (yeah, yeah, I know… funnier) than ever…” But, alas, often what I’d like to toss in content-wise would be tangential to the hardnosed postings of the blog owners or site writers or whatchamacallits.
I hope that you’ll enjoy this blog. Since I don’t consider myself a professional blogger (or even a constant one), you’ll have to forgive the informality of it all. 
Original Tagline — 4/10/2008 to 9/4/2008
Where babbling isn’t just merely babbling… Gotta make the java, make the java, make the java…
A lot of people will recognize the original tagline from one of the more (in)famous corporate wikis that I created and participated in for several years at a Large Corporation That Shall Remain Unnamed. A hallmark of the wiki was the incredibly huge volume of lifeblog-like entries that the majority of positive WikiFolk would leave around that had the side effect of causing a curious sense of community and continuing contribution. Sometimes even WikiNoobs, Wikiphobes, and WikiTrolls would be transformed into WikiGnomes. Huzzah!
