Nothing to blog home about...

My first blog post... I feel like going crazy and putting some blinking text here, like in the good old days!

Although I've been working in the Internet field since 1999, I'm still rather a late adopter of new technology. Frankly, I just didn't see the value of blogs (still don't - most really aren't that useful - probably like this one).

Lately, there's been such renewed energy in the Internet - hasn't felt this way since the height of the dot.com days. So much is happening that it managed to get me excited about the Net again. Yes, I still worked in it all these years (a dot bomb survivor) but I wasn' t doing anything exciting. (Well, I did recently start using del.icio.us which was so much fun - and geek that I am- actually kept me up at night gushing over how much I loved my del.icio.us bookmarks & tags!)

I didn't want the fun of social media and the Web 2.0 to pass me by, so here I am.

I am hoping to use this blog to discuss various interesting things I see happening on the Net and insights gained from here (work) or there (unlimited).

I am also in the midst of relaunching my workplace's website - so I'd like to post some of my experiences and challenges.

Think this will be cool.
