Twin Cities, Minnesota Blog
NOTE: This is an archive of a blog that was originally published at TwinCitiesMinnesotaBlog.com.
On August 10, 2004, I started this blog using Blogger so I could learn about and experiment with the medium.
I've accomplished that goal but I continue to experiment, which might explain the sometimes random nature of this blog. While I publish other blogs on Internet Marketing and the Minnesota Vikings, this one is far less focused and sometimes scatter shot.
I do talk a lot about sports because sports are always fun to talk about. I talk about various places in the Twin Cities because the Twin Cities are a wonderful place to live. I talk about video games because they're very cool, as entertainment as well as technology. I talk about politics because I'm a news and politics junkie.
And I'll pretty much talk about whatever makes it into my head, through my fingers, and past the post button.
I write because it helps me to think; the process helps me clarify my ideas by putting those ideas into words that I can see and examine. I write because I love writing and I'm good at it and there's nothing quite as wonderful as exercising a skill at which you excel.
