The second purpose is to keep family & friends up-to-date on what Angela & I are up to. Web logs seem like a more practical way of keeping in touch than e-mail. I never seem to find the time to e-mail people as often as I should. And sending out frequent updates to a group of people seems arrogant -- what if they don't care? So, for those of you who do care, this is where you can find out what's going on. I wish more of my family & friends did this.
And, finally, it's a learning tool. Between News Goat, Blog Goat, and the various other tools I'm creating for this, I'm learning a lot about programming and web design.
So, that's why I'm here. Now, why are you here? :-)
