I haven't posted for quite a while, as you two or three people who read this blog might have noticed. This is not because I have stopped posting, or even stopped having opinions (that'll be the day); rather it is because I am currently blogging at an experimental site that is a sub-site of Salon: Open Salon. I'm doing this because I'm an arrogant dweeb, and think that posts there will get a wider distribution than here.
I would direct the three (or however many) of you to head on over there. The site is currently in Beta and is thus (ironically) not "open," but you can sign up easily if you want, and it shortly will be open.
In the meantime, I'll be posting there rather than here. Just so's you know.
About Me
- Douglas Moran
- When I'm asked “Where are you from?” I usually answer either, “Uh…,” “Most recently, you mean?” or “The Northeast,” which is about as specific as saying “The Western Hemisphere.” The fact is, after kicking around Connecticut, New Hampshire, Long Island, and northern Virginia, the longest I stayed any place was the 12 years he spent in Santa Cruz, California. My caustic sense of humor precludes saying he is a Santa Cruzan, however, so I usually say, “Uh…” With a Computer Science degree in my hot little hands and a modicum of writing ability, I somehow fell into a career as a technical writer in the computer biz, which allows my to work from my current home in Austin, Texas, be with my two kids, and still get in plenty of time researching new gadgets, watching science fiction DVDs, playing with A/V software, and hitting the frisbee golf courses nearby. My insanely tolerant wife (who once encouraged me to buy a sports car so as to preclude any midlife adulterating) fluctuates between living with my weird hobbies and urging me to engage in them even more, which helps explain why I am so inordinately fond of her.

Ah,the joy of beta testing. After you sign up, you are informed that your application will be approved at some later date, when they are able to let more users onto the system.
If you post only on Open Salon, those of us without accounts will be experiencing, at least temporarily, a Blather blackout.
(Hi Doug!)
You know, I'd love it if I were smart enough to sign in as me, and not as Perry.
You mean someone other than my mom reads this blog? Who knew?
I'm sure LOADS of other people read your blog, dear. Anyway - that's the main way I can keep track of you.
