Hello and welcome to my blog (blahg?). As of this moment, I will conveniently forget ever having said, “Never! I will never write a blog (blahg?)!” so don’t try to remind me of having said it. It never happened.

I hesitate to call this “memo2″ or “memo+” or even “memoagain,” but that’s probably not far from the truth: a daily (mostly, hopefully) writing exercise dealing with some (idiosyncratic) topic of the moment. There will, however, be three major differences: This blog (blahg?) will not be constrained by the 8.5×11 page size, this blog (blahg?) will have color images (hopefully fairly soon and fairly often), and you can comment directly on this here blog (blahg?). Much like the memo, I am going to write this as though it has an audience. Also, I will be able to do this.

Very probably the contents of this blog (blahg?) (getting tired of that yet?) will rely heavily on augury of some sort, but that shouldn’t surprise you. By the way, “augury” (besides the above) means I have no idea what I’m doing.

So hello and welcome. Come back regularly and check things out. Or syndicate/subscribe to me and be alerted to changes automatically. I’m joining the 21st century slowly but surely. Wouldn’t you like to come with me on this leetle journey?

(what the f**k does that mean?!?)
