As If I Don't Have Enough To Think About!
Now I'm joining the Blogosphere. I might as well offer a few miscellaneous musings. Blogging is new to me. I had heard about the phenom here and there of course. It begged the question, "Why the heck would anyone want to read what I've got to say on a more or less daily basis?"

I found the answer as I cruised through Blog after Blog, and often I did indeed want to read (some of) these things from the far-flung inhabitants of our planet. Sometimes I'm actually interested in these people.

If you're old enough you recall the revolutions: Computers were big mythological beasts with giant tape spools for eyes and punchcards for food, then keyboards and small monitors with dark murky screens to display arcane characters, and then they could do ugly pixelated artwork and on it went into the future. Then you could send an email message, then chat, and suddenly the computer was an indispensible window to the world. We were all made to sit in front of one of these all of the time, but we had a ready conduit to others who were similarly tethered.

The Blogosphere looks like the latest refinement to me - the newest set of techno-challenges to distract and amuse ourselves. I vow henceforth to do my part.
