hello world

I really don’t like blogs.  And now I have one.  But the timing is good as my self-esteem is already low, so perhaps this will be therapeutic rather than merely indulgent?  I have been resisting the temptation for years, ever since I asked Joe Clark the epistemology of the word back in 1998 or so.  With luck, this blog will fall into the popular pattern of being active for a month or so, and then be abandoned for years…

The coincidences feel like serendipity.  It is All Fools’ Day.  I had a major career set back this week.  And I am really looking forward to an ongoing debate with this guy and a BlogSpot account sure would facilitate the discussion.  My initial plans call for ranting about the problems with personal computers at large and the assistive technology industry in particular.  Time to burn some bridges.  Were I less naive, I would have abandon ambitions of ever working for Microsoft or Apple years ago!
