and welcome.

Welcome to the world of blogging. Who knows what I'll actually blog about. But more people are putting their thoughts down on the world wide internets and I thought I'd join them. Thank you, blogger friends, for (perhaps unconciously) urging me toward this fate. And thank you Google, megalomaniac company o' the millennium, for providing a free and easy template where all bloggers are welcome.

And speaking of Google, I just discovered an option on GoogleChat for going "invisible." So this means you can see which of your friends are online but said friends can't see you; it just looks like you're not signed in to chat with them. Here's the kicker: "You are invisible," says Google. "Go visible" (with a link to sign back into chat). 

Sometimes those two short sentences feel a bit too real.
