Yes, that’s right, it doesn’t even get any hits on Google! That means no one ever thought of it before! John said there was a reason no one ever thought of it before… Clearly he means because I am an innovator. Honestly, people should hire me to come up with names for their companies.

So I always thought that my having a blog would be kind of a dumb idea, because who would read it? And also I’m not really into journaling about stuff I’m doing. But I was inspired by The Mendicant Bug that you can just post cool stuff that you find interesting. Because right now I resort to emailing it to people, and I think it causes them to start deleting my emails by rote. You know who you are ::cough:: Josh ::cough::. Or at least I imagine people are deleting my emails because I’m paranoid like that.

Also, I thought this would be a cool way to familiarize myself a little with the latest web technologies that all the cool kidz are doing these days. This blog is proudly powered by WordPress and hosted on the Weathers and Humphries SliceHost Slice. I thought I would start out easy and pick a pre-made WordPress theme, but I looked at (literally) about a hundred of them before deciding to go with the default theme and just mess with the colors a little. So I’ll probably play with it some more at some point. But for now I guess it will do.

And the underlying reason for wanting a blog — it gives me more of an excuse to play with my new MacBook I heart my MacBook.

So, Hello World, and I hope you enjoy Melinthropy! (And if you don’t, I don’t care. Ha. Okay, yes I do. Just don’t tell me.)
