For those of you who haven’t done it, writing an initial blog entry is a difficult task. It is your grand entrance into the world of web communication on a personal level. And it’s not easy to pen just the right words, convey the appropriate message, and draw people into what you hope will be a continual portal of communication and intrigue for those you hope to win over, and ultimately capture as return readers.

I’d like to say that this personal website was recently produced — but the fine work of Tyler Dunn of Chicago was actually completed months ago. It’s taken me that long to draft my initial commentary and go live. Read More…
