In trying to decide what I'll do in here, one thing is uppermost in my mind. That is to write about things that are of interest to me. This is the easy part. But, how should I  go about it? Should I post what essentially are articles about some of these interests, involving the knowledge I have as well as what I've learned from research? Should I  create lists of these things? Should I offer discussion and/or review? I intend this to be a personal blog, and I believe that is for  the best. A blog devoid of professionally sounding formality -- yes, I like that. Some of my interests might be shared by some of  you. I'd like that. So, welcome to my blog.
