Too Cool Not to Share
I came across this video off of an NPR Twitter feed. Once you get past the initial talking heads that explain (kind-of) the process, the balance of the video is beautifully shot and worth repeating!

First Blog Post
OK, first things first. Why call my blog 'Late to the Game'? Certainly not that I'm a sports-minded individual (if you know me you'd laugh at the thought). Rather my blog name is inspired by several recent news articles (in Newsweek? On-line? I don't recall...) speaking to the general decline in blogging in recent months. Wikipedia.org is seeing a decline in active new entries and in entry updates. Huffingtonpost.com is starting to see a fall-off in new contributors (AKA 'free labor').
So, starting a blog in a 'post-blog' environment makes me a bit 'late to the game', if you will; thus the name. We'll see how I do at this 'new' form of communication and if I keep it up.
Next thing is this: what exactly am I supposed to post on my blog? Some blogs I read are a bit more open with personal information than I'm comfortable sharing. Do I post exciting news about the family? Details on my health and well being? My exploits as I seek employment in an extremely competitive environment or looking back on some of the events and situations of my life that I might find interesting enough to share? Someone much wiser than I once told me when it comes to the little problems in life, there are over a billion Chinese that really couldn't care less. I'll try not to whine. Perhaps I'll post selected little bits of all of the above as I tend to be rather reticent about really opening myself up, especially to strangers.
Which reminds me, I was sitting in a medical waiting room earlier this morning when a woman plopped herself down in the chair right next to me (forget that there were 10 other empty seats nearby). Immediately I got the sense that I wanted to be called-back for my appointment more quickly than expected. This concern was validated when the woman started to ask questions about what it was I was doing at this particular medical facility -- and then pushed for more information about my very general non-specific answers. SORRY, you didn't get the answer you were looking for because that is MY BUSINESS. Nor did I inquire about her reason for being there. I guess I'm not a very social being.
Anyway. Here it is, my first post to my very own blog. Hope there is not a major lag between posts, just in case there is anyone out there that actually reads this. Right now it feels as if I'm writing to a cricket chirping somewhere in the quiet distance.
