Hello World

So I discovered this blog through Kevin's status on Google Talk, read a few posts, and thought "hmm...this is something I might want to get involved with." So I e-mailed Kevin and he added me to the author list. Then I realized that I don't have anythingto talk about.

I could talk about my Spring break in Cali and the colleges I visited there (Caltech, Stanford, and Harvey Mudd), but I don't know how interesting that would be to people.

Let's take a look at my Twitter status:

(Quick aside: I highly encourage you to get a Twitter. It's a service where you can send status updates up to 140 characters, something called "micro-blogging." You can then "follow" other twitterers and set it up so that it sends you a text message or an IM every time someone you follow sends an update. Or you can update over SMS and IM. The place where Twitter shines is that you can put "@username" at the beginning of a post to reply to their current status and it notifies that user. This can be useful for just talking in general, or even making plans. By the way, my updates are protected so you'd need to get an account and ask me or request on the site to follow me to see them. Okay I'm done...I promise...)

After a week in Cali at my dad's cousin's house near LA, I've decided that IMSA is my terra firma.

So hopefully I'll actually have something to talk about in the future. I'm going to try to keep from ranting on here (I have strong opinions on a lot of things), but I apologize in advance if I can't help myself at some point.
