Inaugural Post
Here I am, publishing my first so-called Blog. I have had personal web pages in one form or another well before this blog revolution, and though I have heard of blog for a long time, I didn't really take it seriously at first. Until recently....
The impact of the blogging movement have been quite substantial these days. It is amazing how a relatively simple facilitation can cause an orders-of-magnitude changes. In the heyday of geocities , many of hte elements of the modern blog is already present. One can already do many of the things one do on the blog these days, but the resulting homepages clearly had an amateurish look, and it takes some knowledge of HTML and Javascript to make a decent looking and engaging space. This effect of technology in speeding up changes by lowering the barrier of entry just a little bit is intriguing to me...
Which leads to my intention for this blog... first is its personal utility to me, in helping in thoughts-formation and articulation, as well as serving as a depository for my ideas or links to other interesting things/people on the web. Secondly, some people may find these ideas/information useful,.. that is, if I get to keep up with posting regularly.. we shall see.
