Like many folks, I posted to usenet a lot when I was younger and stupider...but sometimes I come across people who still remember and respect me for the few smart or funny things I said.

Last weekend I got inpsired and started posting stuff on swinney -- stuff I want people to read and think about and comment on and maybe even remember. I don't think I'll ever do the standard "this is a story about my cat" style blog, though, both because I blather enough on mailing lists as it is and because I don't have a cat.

If I did have a cat, though, maybe I'd blog about it. Hmm.
