I’m very anti-trend for most things of a social nature, including blogging.  I formerly viewed blogging as a means for people to listen to themselves talk, and I don’t really like talking.  I have resisted blogging successfully until now, but recently I’ve become aware of the value of (some) blogs.  

The backstory on how I came to this moment is short and sweet (yay!).  I’m a Network Manager with a decent technical background and I’ve always relied partly on the experience of others to educate myself when embarking on projects that involve technologies that I’m unfamiliar with.  I know, that was a long sentence.  In the recent past, a lot of that information has found its way into my brain by way of blogs.  People have shared their valuable experiences and I have learned from them.  I have valuable experiences from time to time, and this will be where I publish them for the world to see.  …or ignore.  People may find my stories pointless, or completely unhelpful, but hopefully this won’t be entirely in vain.

I leave you now with a blanket disclaimer – I have but a high school education and English was never a good subject for me, and so I am prone to poor spelling and grammar.  I am also rather opinionated and intolerant of others’ flaws, but I do my best to keep my outrage in check.  Please excuse me of these shortcomings.
