The First Post

Well, here I am. A blogger.

Blogs appear to be the Segway of 2005, everyone talks about them, knows all about them, and thinks they are the greatest thing since Bob Dole invented the Internet, but doesn't really know what to use them for.

But I guess if CNN is paying people to cover the Republican National Convention using these things, maybe theres something to them. Cause we all know CNN is never wrong, right?

I guess I'll open with a little about me. I'm finishing up an engineering degree at Memorial University, specializing in Computer Engineering. I live in Topsail, Newfoundland, close to St. John's. But enough about me, you'll earn more as this goes on.

My first foray into publishing thoughts online, was long before the craze of blogging began. The site I would read and posted on a bit was www.theopendiary.com which is no longer operating. Back then, it was mostly middle aged people who would post anonymous accounts of how depressing thier lives were. Now, blogging has brought forth a whole new generation of deep thinkers, who seem to truly believe that thier poetry is good, and people actualy believe the pensive facades that they hide behind while posting.

This will not be that type of Blog. This Blog will not be full of emotional musings and cry me a river rants about why the world is against me. I don't exactly know what it will be, but it won't be that.

I guess I'm just starting this because its the trendy thing to do, and they can be an interesting read when properly done. And I'm an attention whore, I forgot to mention that one.

Anyways, stay tuned. I'll see where this goes.
