Blog’d!
I used to have a web site. Many people (and by “many people”, I mean “a large proportion of the small number of people who ever visited it”) have commented that it is woefully out of date. Most recently, my former boss Dave, over a scrumptious dinner at Kabob & Curry, pointed out that you couldn’t even tell from my site that I’m working at EnerNOC now (and really enjoying it, by the way, which is why I haven’t updated my resume yet — but I’m a good corporate citizen and I’ll get to it eventually). Now that I look at Dave’s site again, I see he’s not in the best position to throw stones; but perhaps he also has a secretly up to date site hiding in some forgotten corner of the web.
Now I have a blog. I’ve resisted setting up a blog for some time because, well, I’m not excited about sharing the chatter of my daily life, and I’m not sure how much profound writing I can find time for, what with the Providence->Boston commute and all. On the other hand, I do enjoy the chatter of all my friends’ blogs (blogroll coming soon, maybe)… and I have been looking for inspiration to do more writing.
So, there we have it. First post, and quite possibly last. But at least now if I have the inspiration to keep a personal site up to date, it’ll be dead simple.

“First post and quite possibly the last”?? What kind of statement is that?? The point of a blog is to pontificate. Now that you have a blog, you must stand on your soapbox and proclaim your thoughts. Your friends (and future employers) want to know whats inside that head of yours.
Glad to see you have started a more up-to-date process. The ride between cities should be good time to type out a few paragraphs of rambling, on many – any! – topic you see fit. Look forward to it.
