About Me

I'm a parent. I write. I do Information Security for a living. I like computers, mobile phones, and many other forms of shiny gadgets.

I think, sometimes too much, sometimes not enough. I help people make sense of complexity.

Yes, I'm Restarting My Personal Blog

I've previously had a personal blog on Vox (it's still there, for now), but I've decided to restart the blog over here on phoneboy.info, which I bought a while ago but wasn't using for anything. I'm no longer fond of the "roach motel" that some of these "Free" blogging services are (i.e. you can get your data in, but you can't easily get it off). I wanted something I could easily get the data into--which Wordpress blogs certainly allow for--but also get the data out of if I desire. So what will be here that isn't on phoneboy.com? Non-techie stuff. Interesting photos I take when I travel. Other things that don't really have a home, but I want to keep track of for slightly longer than an ephemeral tweet. I'll think of something for it, I'm sure.

I almost linked to my gabby mail only to keep it personal. :) I think this is great. I like reading your stuff. I also appreciate the personal things, but our relationship is more personal so it works. :)

Good luck with this, but if it's about you...the rest of the world won't matter.

I agree with you about putting your stuff on a free site versus a pay site. Not so easy to get that stuff back off. I haven't truly used my vox blog in ages.

Personal blogs are always good to have, specially for folks like us who have something to say that's not always >140 characters. Looking forward to the updates here.

P.S. - are you aware that your site looks like an iPhone? Yeesh. ;)
