so it begins

I've joined the madding crowd. Blogging is the It thing to do these days, the personal webpage of the 2000s. Of course the pioneers gnash their teeth at the addition of the unclean masses. But I had a home page in 1994, so I can at least pretend that I was hip once too.

The subject of this journal is intended to be my journey from engineering to law, and all the twists on the road I encounter on the way. I'm largely interested in keeping my friends and family up to date with what I'm doing, though of course any unknown readers will always be welcome.

For now, I'm going to keep this relatively anonymous. I may change my mind later, but since my current audience is a) extremely small, and b) knows me well already, I don't see much advantage to revealing all online. Besides which, I'm going to be attending school with a bunch of future lawyers, which means I should probably start paying attention to what I say.
