I have plenty of friends in real life, but live in Chicago, and it's winter! This is my attempt at engagement with the internets.

Why I finally started posting…
After using the web for quite some time now (I started writing web code in perl in 1999), I’ve finally decided to try my hand at posting. I say posting because I’ve always cringed at the word ‘blogging’. Thus, I will not blog, but POST!
I have a twitter account, but hardly ever use it. I know it is a new protocol, interesting way to find resources, and that is all fine and good, but I’m with cdixon when he makes the case that we shouldn’t hand over the management of a fundamental web service to a “for-profit-gatekeeper”. I agree, and further, think that URL shortening services kill a fundamental piece of UI, which is anchor text. Do I want to follow this link: http://crap.ly/qRx8y…how would I know?
