I received a joyful email this morning from my friend and former fellow-employee, Josh Yonce, announcing that Angie, his wife, gave birth last night (October 28, 2005) at 9:57 pm to a son, Ethan Mikeal. The newest Mr. Yonce weighed in at 8 lbs 1 oz and was 22 inches long. Mother and child are doing well, and the only apparent problem is that the new father can't stop smiling.

No, that spelling of the title of this post is NOT a typo. Mememorandum is a what's-hot-on-the-web-today type site that I visited several months ago when I first heard about it and dismissed because it was about politics, and while I'm privately politically active, I am not into the daily shouting matches about this or that hair-pulling in Washington.

Since this is an initial post, let me explain to you some of my reasons for jumping the Blogger ship. I have been blogging at Blogger for about 3 and a half years, and there my blog had the same name as it does here (although I may change it here if I can think of a better one). It was an experiment in publishing to the web for me. Blogger was for me, as it is for many, a first blogging experience, and I experienced a number of rewards because of it.

David Steele, a long-time friend and former client (from my consulting days), has decided to take the plunge and start a blog. He's at the very beginning of his efforts, but I like the name he has conceived of for himself -- the «heartland storyteller.» Here's the link to his blog, spelled out in case you want to make note of it, http://heartlandstoryteller.blogspot.com/.

Last night I received an email from Patricia Pomerleau who is the CEO of CEOExpress, my home page on the web. For a long time this site has permitted us users to create a page of links that we, and we only, can see so that we don't have to be at our own computer to access frequently used web sites from the list of bookmarks (or favorites) that are stored in our browsers. Just logging into our home page displays these so-called personal links, and I have found this feature to be quite useful through the years. Patricia's email was sent to announce they are now providing the ability to share these personal links selectively with others.

When you write on the Internet, you expect that some people, usually only a few, will read what you write. Some may even be so loyal to your postings that they'll come back time and again. However, one of the surprises for me is that occasionally someone I don't even know will leave a comment or write to say they found a post of mine interesting, and equally surprising (though it shouldn't be) is that sometimes an old friend will «find» you.
