Welcome, Web Soup classmates

This blog had fallen by the wayside before this month. I even pointed out how bad Twitter had been on my blogging habits, never mind the other blog I tried launching last fall. Luckily Mr. Allman and our Web Soup class have forced me to resurrect it. I've been running this blog since March of 2007. Before that, I blogged on LiveJournal since 2002.

This website has been many things, at many points. It has been been a travelogue, cataloguing my (mis)adventures abroad. It has been an outlet for career frustrations and life (in)decision. It's been a photo blog. It's been a place for political rants and commentary. And it even had a brush with Internet-fame when I was almost sued by an out-of-control libel-happy Canadian bureaucrat. I really showed him.

But mostly, it's been a mundane, sometimes witty, sometimes depressing account of the things that have happened to me since 2007. More and more, it's been a place to put interesting photos, links, and other assorted Internet miscellany. I think I'm going to keep that forum, for the most part. It'll be written copy, interspersed with links, photos and other interesting articles.

As for my friends and random Internet visitors, you might notice an upswing in posts about the Internet, digital politics, journalism and such. That's because I'm taking a Georgetown university graduate class in creating web content. I've integrated the class with this blog. So tune out, read on. Whatever you like.
