OK, that’s a bit of an understatement. I have been comtemplating starting a blog for a while now but I wanted to make sure that it wasn’t just some passing fad. (Just saying that may mean that it will pass out of fashion next week.) The thought that I was “only a little late” struck me as funny since blogging has been around a lot longer than many of us realize.
Posting thoughts, news, and other information from a computer for others to see began in the 80’s as one can find out from the Wkipedia article on blogs. That was short-lived and in the latter half of the 90’s, it became more closely recognizable as what we know today. Around 2001 blogging became mainstream and here we are. That was probably about the time I first heard the term ‘blog’ and even then I wasn’t sure what it was.
Fast-forward to 2007 and you have my first entry. My pastor, who I love dearly and respect a great deal, began blogging last year. For crying out loud, the man is one of the most ‘tech-challenged’ people I know and he jumped into this before I did (BTW, I’m a graphic designer and consider myself somewhat handy with a computer). Perhaps that just means that he had something to say before I did—but I digress.
So there you have it, my blog. My plan is to have a little bit of everything here; words, pictures, video, etc, and on any number of topics. Not the least of which will be to shamelessly plug myself and my design studio—Defy Creative (more on that later). I hope anyone who reads it will find it funny, interesting, and anything else good that comes to mind. I think it will be fun. Now the party can get started…after all, I’m only a little late.
