a begining

[meatspace location: home]

Well, this is not the first time I start a blog, nor will it likely be the last. Hopefully I'll stick at this for a while longer than the last few times.

Now, most pieces of writing should have a purpose: Entertainment, education/instruction, whatever. The purpose of this blog, in particular, is for me to explore (with your assistance, hopefully) various themes and issues to do with the nature and practice of information, of politics, of ethics/morals, of philosophy/science/religion/how-we-got-here/what-we-do/why-we-do-it, and whatever else enters my little old mind.

Hopefully this will be an interesting exploration, hopefully it will be an entertaining exploration, and hopefully it will be a lengthy exploration. We will see.
