Greetings and welcome.

As part of my 2008 NY resolutions, I will attempt to keep up a blog. What do I have to contribute to the blogosphere? I’ve been in publishing for over 15 doing technology publishing and very integrated in information technology. I’m not a programming or technology geek, so can’t add much new to that space. I do consider myself a super-user of a lot of different applications, so look for nuggets of experience from that area. Some also accuse me of being a gadget geek. Here’s a sampling of topics in the tech space:

• Digital Photography
• Windows
• MS Office
• Linux
• Tivo/DVR
• GPS
• Smartphones
• Networking
• Social Networking
• Digital Video
• Computer hardware
• Fitness gadgets (GPS, indoor training systems, HRM, etc)
• MP3/digital media players

I also engage in a wide variety of sports and outdoor activities. Again, a broad generalist for most, but I cover a lot of areas. Here is a sampling of likely sport/outdoor topics:

• Boating
• Camping
• Hiking
• Fishing
• Skiing (Water, Alpine, X-Country)
• Biking (Road, Mountain)
• Motorcycling (Can you say Harley Davidson? plus more)
• Roller blading
• Running
• Scuba Diving

Being a single parent, I also find myself doing most of the housework, lawn care, and cooking. Don’t be surprised to find a recipe posted here along with a quick fix faucet repair. Sort of a “Jack of all trades, master of none” approach, but I am what I am. Perhaps as this evolves I’ll find I gravitate to one area more than another, but we’ll see.

I endeavor to contribute something valuable to society by sharing whatever widsom, insight and tips I can.
