First Post!

Well, after many years of surfing for porn on the internet I've decided to join the phenom known as blogging. Must admit that the only exposure I had regarding blogs was slashdot.org (which is quite fugly) and blogger (recently gobbled up by google). The whole concept never really appealed to me. Seemed too much like an online diary (and let's face it - keeping a diary is not the manliest of activties). Then I ran across an interesting Mac article on Steve Garrity's blog Acts of Volition. I really dug Steve's site and inquired about the software he used. Turns out it's a proprietary blog developed by the talented folks at silverorange.

Luckily (and I don't even exactly remember just how) I came across a site powered by Movable Type and saw some remarkable similiarites with silverorange's blog. I decided to give it a try. MT was relatively straightforward to install (excellent instructions!), seems like it'll be pretty easy to customize (look and feel wise), the backend is very complete (well organized to boot) and you gotta love no annoying banner ads. It truly is a brilliant bit of software and I do plan on making a donation. Only thing I could wish for is WYSIWYG editor for the entries and photo album support though it seems they might be covering that in their new product - Type Pad.

So basically the reason I put up a blog is cause I thought the software was cool and wanted to play around with it. Not cause I have a burning desire to share my adventurous life with a bunch of strangers. I can't assure you that I'm going to be posting many (if any) thought provoking essays on this site but occasionally (OK more often than naught) I'll put links to funny/interesting images, videos, articles, deals and babes.
