For some time now, I’ve been thinking about starting my own blog, or rather I’ve been thinking about not starting my own blog. Friends have convinced me that somebody will read it. My only remaining concerns are whether I have enough time to write anything for it and manage comment spam. We’ll have to see.

Besides, there are reasons to blog regardless of who is reading. I love writing, and the older I get the more I love ranting. I also enjoy other developers’ blogs and since working on Feeder I’ve gained a real interest in podcasting. I don’t think I’ll ever be a podcaster myself, but the whole concept really excites me. Whether it’s a podcast about something or a podcast about nothing it seems much more free and intimate than traditional media and, of course, you don’t need no stinking transmitters. When professional journalists and broadcasters snipe at bloggers and podcasters for being amateurs, you get that sneaky feeling they’re just a little envious.

My intention is for this blog to be mostly about Reinvented Software, things related to Macs and other such geekery, although I’m sure it won’t be limited to that. Eventually I will get around to tweaking the design of the blog into something more personal, but WordPress 1.5’s Kubrick-based theme is good enough for now.

To get this whole blog thing started, here’s a quick introduction to me.
