New Blogger

We'd like to experiment with this blog a little more now that it's been online for several months. Of course, we owe a lot to Paul Ellis, who started it, and is still welcome to contribute. For those of you who don't know, Paul has decided to follow his dream - his granddaughter, by locating in Missouri.

In our experimentation, we are open to local (Puget Sound) bloggers who would like to contribute to a discussion of technology. If you are interested in being a blogger on this blog, let me - your administrator - know.

First in line to join is Mike O'Brien, who some of you may already know. Mike:
