So I thought I’d start out with a handful of events from the past year or so that would’ve blogged about had SLB been up at those times. A sampler post if you will of things I would’ve found blog worthy. Things in South Dakota such as the foam party (official story) at Ellsworth air foce base in my home town, or perhaps I would’ve ranted on about Bill Napoli’s asshat comments of the year. Who can forget the little tower that could? More recently in Colorado Richard Dawkins (whom has been featured/parodied in even more recent South Park fame) did a documentary (link 2) on the nation’s largest(?) evangelical church in Colorado Springs that was headed up by recently dismissed meth smoking gay “massage” pastor Ted Haggard who apparently had weekly meetings with the president. Up to a national level I would’ve found Google’s acquisition of YouTube noteworthy, cause ya know, a website that’s in business for 18 months being bought for $1.65 billion is a personal dream of mine, and apparently makes the YouTube owners giddy as well. On a global view I would’ve let you know that I’m quite fascinated by all the development of Dubai. The tech side of me would’ve covered Wired’s Next Fest and expressed my eagerness for Nintendo’s Wii (Madden Preview) to launch. There probably would’ve been many more things to write about, but you get the idea.

So in the future I hope this will be a place where I can stay on top of current events and news items that interest me coupled with other interesting or amusing content, and of course to share a story or two. Thanks for stopping by, please do check back.
