[Note: This was the first post of my personal blog, Type 11 Error. The idea was have a blog that wasn’t restricted to professional endeavors. If you can’t bore them with code, bore them with your personal life, I always say.]

Its all Elaine’s fault, as usual. I was going about my merry way when she starts pestering me that I haven’t posted to my blog recently. That’s why this atrocity was born.

I actually have another blog, Safe from the Losing Fight, but I haven’t posted to it in a while. Its mainly about professional endeavors and thoughts, and I’d like to keep it that way. I haven’t updated it recently because of various NDAs and just simple lack of time. Since I’d like it to be professional the posts there take longer to compose and edit than the simple “what I had for breakfast this morning…” posts.

I’m starting this blog for several reasons:

  1. I have a new toy to play with (i.e. iWeb. A hint to those with engineers in their lives: If want something done, buy the engineer a toy that does said job. They still might not finish the job, but at least they’ll be happy for a while. And really, isn’t that the point? To make your engineer happy?)
  2. A place to log thoughts that aren’t necessarily professional, well composed, logical, or human.
  3. For the proud llamas. You know who you are.

As you might note, with some dismay no doubt, the name of this blog is even geekier than that of my “professional” geek blog. I’m quite proud of that. It just goes to show I’m even more of a dork in my personal life than in my professional. I try not to disappoint.
