Let there be blog

…and there was blog.

Well, that was a lame opening for a first post, wasn’t it? But it poses an interesting question; “why is there blog?” I realize that some people actually have an idea about it before they create the blog, while what I had was an unused domain on a host that I’ve mostly used for feeding Thunderbird’s junkmail filter. So, this weekend the rare combination of boredom (of which I have plenty) and initiative (usually elusive) made me decide to do something about that empty space. I guess I have to find some purposes for the site along the way.

I guess one of the first things on the agenda (after making the sidebar sections less empty) is some kind of art section. It’s mostly on a wannabe basis, but art is one of the things I enjoy dabbling with when inspiration hits. More about that later.

Other than that I guess it will the usual personal blog material: things I have thought about, books I have read, records I have listened to. We’ll see about that.
