The Core Blog
Who has time for a blog?

All I hear nowadays is people talking about blogs and how everyone has one.
As a web developer I have been asked by my clients, "What is a blog?"..."Why would someone want a blog?"..."What can a blog do for me?" and then inevitably, "Do you have a blog?". My answer up until now was, "No, I don't see the point, blogs are just personal websites where people talk about their hobbies."
I build websites for companies that sell their products and services. What is the point beyond that? Now I realize that while I was spending all my time discovering fire in my geek cave with my buddies HTML, CSS, PHP and Javascript, the web-world was launching social networking satellites into deep space! Suddenly people are blogging and tweeting all over the internet.
I made a commitment to rebuild my company's website, and set aside some time in my schedule to "blog" my thoughts in the field that I love. I have been in my cave, but today I take my first small step into the light toward blogging salvation.
Join me on my journey and get a glimpse into the mind of this self-proclaimed geek.
