<h2>January 24, 2002</h2>

<h3>Big Time</h3>

<p>Woohoo! I made <A HREF="http://www.bears-cave.com">Doyce's link bar</A>! Now I'll have to actually be a blogger instead of playing one on TV.</p>

<p>All joking aside, I should really thank a couple of people that were inspirational in getting me going on this thing:<UL><LI><A HREF="http://www.sfpro.com/cww/blogger.html">Wendi</A>, for introducing me to the whole concept of web logs.<LI>Doyce, for raising the bar by all the stuff that he writes.</UL>Though "thanks" aren't really appropriate, I'd like to at least acknowledge that the incidents on 11 September were what finally pushed me over the edge to get this thing up and running. The blog had been set up, but I wasn't posting to it because I had wanted to redesign the layout of my website. With the disasters -- plural, let's not forget that New York wasn't the only place hit -- came a strong desire to write and that was enough momentum to finally beat my inertia and redo the site.</p>

<p>Here it is, then. New layout, somewhat new blog, new tricks, old dog, and clean underwear.</p>
