This is really just an experiment to see how this blog thing works. I don't kid myself by thinking that people are interested in what I have to say or anything, but I think that this is a very useful tool, both for societies and for individuals who might want to keep friends and family apprised of what's happening in their lives. I'm staring up one for the society I'm most active with, tap soc, and I'll definitely be writing one next year in Germany, it's got to be quicker and easier than emailing everyone individually.
