Introduction

I have toyed with the idea of having a blog for a while now. I’ve been an Internet person since, well, almost as early as the Vice President invented it. I’ve had web sites (and, in fact, I still have web sites), but the prospect of having a blog (or an online journal, or an “eljay” or “xanga” or whatever) seemed self-centered and unnecessary. Actually, it still seems unnecessary; pretty much no one needs to know much about what I think. That said, even fewer people need to know what you think, and you probably have one.

So there’s no stopping me now. I’ll update this as often as the blogging spirit inspires me: probably once in a while when I’m at work. Usually, I won’t post things about me in particular; I’ll post things that I think about other things.

Why should you care? Well, I sometimes think interesting things. Like, more often than most of the other people who have sites like this. I’m from Florida, which sort of might make me more cultured than you right off the bat; I’m a Philosophy student at Grinnell, which is kind of indie and cool; and my aesthetic views are usually somewhere in the interesting zone between “pretentious” and “correct.”
