Yes, I know. It’s not the most creative title but it’s descriptive so I’m going with it. This is my first attempt to join the world of blogging. I’m normally an early adopter of technology but for some reason I’m a late-bloomer when it comes to the Web Blog craze.

I’m also realistic in thinking that perhaps two or three people will read this blog if I’m lucky. However, I need to exercise the writing portion of my brain before it atrophies so here I am!

For those of you who don’t know me here’s a little info. I used to write a newspaper column about technology called “Wired World” in the late 1990s, back when wireless technology was barely burgeoning and I was apparently fond of alliteration. I’ve decided to keep this name for two reasons, the most obvious being nostalgia and the other is that it’s a play-on-words, something else I’m fond of.

I live in Las Vegas, the strangest place on planet earth–at least in my opinion and the opinion of nearly everyone that I know living here, so I stand by my statement. Vegas, the non-stop neon city-that-never-sleeps, is pretty wired in my opinion and it feels like another world. This otherworldly city requires me to consume large amounts of caffeine on a regular basis just to keep from falling down comatose because of information overload. The increased caffeine intake could have something to do with the fact that I’m now a web developer and stare at code all day now, but the other explanation is jazzier.

I’m also a bit of a movie and TV buff–well an entertainmentoholic might be a better way to describe me. I’m the person that people phone up and say, “You remember that guy that was in that movie?” and I usually know the answer. My favorite genre is sci-fi. Yes, I know that makes me a nerd but I’ve come to terms with that and wear my nerd badge proudly. I’m not such a nerd that it interferes with social interaction and prevents me from having interpersonal relationships. I can have a conversation that does not involve references to “Battlestar Galactica” when necessary.

I’m sure you’ll discover more about me as time goes on. For now, I’ll plan on posting some photos from trips I’ve taken recently and discuss random things that I think are cool or important.

Enjoy and thanks for stopping by!
