I began blogging in the early days of web 2.0, when suddenly the world seemed to open up the possibilities of an audience for the randomest of thoughts. I've tried to be somewhat discerning in what I write about--but there is so much, and so many ideas, that sometimes curation is a challenge. I must confess that in recent years I have not been as regular a blogger. But I do write when something strikes me hard, and when the words and ideas come together in a somewhat cogent fashion.
