Happy New Year !

Howdy guys and gals,

I figured it was about time I posted again. I haven't totally ignored this site over the holiday season. However, most of the time I put into it was answering emails and killing auto-advertising that was hitting my comments area.

My posts may look like crap that is easy to churn out but most of the time involved is spent reading, tracking stories, and researching. The research and reading is what I really try to continue when time permits. This site wasn't intended to be a daily blog for me to rant. Partly, it was intended to be an outlet for me to try to bring things to more people's attention. However, this seems so much easier to do in comment sections of other sites (more traffic). This doesn't entirely cover the bases though. Therefore, I try to use this blog for when I feel certain items need more coverage, more analysis, or to be brought back out into the discourse.

Perhaps, I could do a little commenting on current events on a daily basis ....but aren't there enough of those sites?

Also, I was hoping that my comments section would actually be an arena for discourse. This seems to be wishful thinking for most blogs including this one.

Anyhow I hope you all had a nice holiday season and life finds ya happy and healthy.

B
