Frist Post!
Writing the first post into a newly installed blog is a bit like speaking your first message onto your very first telephone answering machine. You feel a bit stupid, as you’re talking to yourself. You don’t really know who’s going to hear your message. You have a vague idea of what you want to say - but once you’ve said it, it sounds strange.
“Hi! This is Daniel’s blog. Daniel is not in at the moment. But if you want to know more about him, you can read this blog. If you really care, you can leave a message after you’ve read it. If you leave your email address, maybe he’ll even mail you back.”
I guess at the moment I’m writing this more for myself than for anybody else. Why am I starting this? Well, in the course of the day, I come across stuff that I find interesting, funny, enlightening or just odd. I need a place to store this, and to add my comments. A blog seems a better place for that than an old shoe-box.
