So this is the first real post I have made on this or any other site I am affiliated with, and don't have a good idea on where to start. Trying to layout my whole life up to the present seems pointless, especially since the people reading this probably will have known me for a while. So I guess one of the reasons I am starting to write/post now, is that I have decided to give up FaceBook for Lent, and will be puting my creative energies elsewhere. Posting this blog seemed like a good start towards that endeavor. I will try to post something regularly, whether it be some of my newest photos, current design projects, or just the random thoughts that pass through my head on a daily basis. I am also working on changing the name of my blog, and url address. The one currently posted came to me recently, although it may not be immediately apparent to some of you out there.
(As it stands, most of my circle of friends in Ames have a major or background in computer science, or areas closely related, and are hackers of some kind or another. This is not to imply that any of said activities are illegal in any way, as we are all Christians after all. ;) )

Anyways, I suppose that you have to crawl before you can walk, and this is a good as start as any. For this post I will leave you with a quote from Firefly, a favorite tv show of mine, and one that was unceremoniously canceled by Fox. I highly recommend you watch the series, if you haven't already. It is pretty much amazing, and easily accessible (all 14 episodes) on Hulu.com.

Wash: "Everything looks good from here... (playing with plastic dinosaurs over his console) Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive."

(as Stegosaurus) "We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land'."

(as T-Rex) "I think we should call it...your grave!"

(Stegosaurus) "Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!"

(T-Rex) "Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh...now die!"

On somewhat of an sidenote, NASA has decided to name their newest module for the International Space Station (ISS) after a name submitted and voted on by the general public. The name with the highest percentage at the time of this post (and for the foreseeable future) is currently "Serenity", which is the name of the Ship on Firefly... that just tickles me g33k! So I'm going to bed now, because I'm tired, and have a busy week ahead of me...Cheers Mate ;)
