First post

This is blog three of my personal scratch pads for news, notes and other errata. I made the decision recently that blogs are the best medium for tracking various things of interest for me. Despite being publicly accessible to anyone, the purpose of these is not to find an audience, but to give me a place to track and vent from anywhere that a connection exists. The original blog I created, Data in, data out was created to give me a forum for rants about technology. It is more of an editorial type journal that never gained a lot of traction, but now that it is properly framed with the other two, this one and  a tech news specific one, gives me the three categories I need to capture all the discoveries, tech thoughts, and news rants/threads that generally consume me from day to day, and allow all the really personal stuff to be captured off-line in my journal. News screed will capture hard news stories and allow for rants about the political process.
