Taking the plunge

I have been meaning to start a blog for a while now, especially in the last year and a half I’ve followed Barack Obama’s improbable rise, and had so much to say, predict and rejoice over.

But no one particular idea or comment ever seemed important enough to sit down, compare platforms and choose one (it felt like a bigger commitment than buying a new car!).  In the meantime, my opinions and ideas have been left homeless as comments to articles, digg entries and blog posts everywhere.

So here I am.  The day has come.

I don’t know what exactly will become of this blog.  I’ll be happy if I can exchange some ideas with a few friends.

Mostly I’m just excited I can record what’s on my mind, even when I can’t discuss over a beer with someone just then.
