Feeling This Thing Out

Two HandsI’m still a newbie when it comes to this weblog thing, so I’ve been thinking about what type of stuff I would write about. Since I really enjoy reading, I figured a Reading List might be in order. So, I’ve posted a few comments about some books that I’ve been reading recently: The E-Myth Revisited and Getting Things Done. They aren’t all going to be business books, but that’s what I’ve been reading the most of recently.

Of course, this opens up a whole different train of thought, such as movies and other interests that I have. Palm OS Devices have been such a large part of my life since 1997 and I have plenty of outlets for that passion, but there’s other passions that I have such as movies, food, etc. and I’m not quite sure what to do with it all. For example, I signed up for NetFlix in November 2002 and since then I’ve rated over 558 movies, have 106 movies in my on-line queue and have watched approximately 35 movies since then. Those movies include the first two and a half seasons of The Sopranos (12 1-hour episodes each season) and as if that wasn’t enough, I’m not talking about the fact that I usually watch each movie twice because I want to hear the director’s commentary the second time. Wow, this is sounding more like a support group confession than a little “ditty” about a hobby. :)

Can’t Believe I’m Blogging

Macaulay Culkin from Home Alone

Believe it or not, I haven’t been the biggest proponent of weblogs (aka Blogs). For the most part, I’ve found them a bit too ego-centric and dull. Then I learned that some friends of mine that I greatly respect had weblogs. This totally changed my way of thinking. I actually care what these people have to say! :)

After talking with Mike Rohde about his weblog and how he was about to keep his family and fiends up-to-date with his family’s coming and goings, I decided to take the plunge. I don’t know quite yet what this web site will turn in to, but I guess we can find out together.
