Popping the Blogspot Cherry! =)

Hello world! Hee hee... I remember my very first programming project was to create a simple program that will write: Hello world! =)

Okay, this is a bit of a shame to reveal, but oh well... I'm somewhat of a computer guy. I work in IT. I work with highly complex systems that make Windows, web servers, and network stuff look paltry. But I don't have a blog! My only web experience, besides MP3, is pretty much limited to news.google.com, fark.com, cnn.com, mjmorningshow.com, maps.google.com and CTA. How freaking lame is that?

Some time in the middle of 2005, I tried to get into the cool stuff. I joined Xanga. That went by the way side pretty quick. I think I only posted about five blogs, and that's it. And each were lengthy and wordy. I think my problem there was that I was using it to write little memoirs of my day. And it turned into an hours-long activity each night. So I gave that up pretty quickly.

Then I tried friendster, because I have a couple friends on it. I hated it, because it turns out into a nasty meat market pretty quickly. Who are all these people trying to hook up with me? And my guy friends are trying to get into my girl friends' panties. How sad is that?!? Besides, I was never on it anyway.

Well, fast forward to 2006. I have read a couple articles in Newsweek and BusinessWeek about these hot stuff like MySpace and blogspot. Hee hee. So far, I'm liking MySpace a lot. I feel less intimidated by it, and I don't have that sketchy feeling about it either. So... Moving forward, I'll use both MySpace and blogspot as my forum of communication. Whatever I blog, it'll be both here and there.
