Thanks to the guest bloggers

That statement would have sounded pretty strange about five years ago...

Anyway, thanks to those that have contributed guest posts to this blog. When I initially had the idea, I wasn't sure exactly why I was doing it, but it's coming into clarity.

When I first started this blog in 2003, my goal was to create a single, public location where I could throw links, ideas, opinions, etc. up for anyone who'd like to see them. The goal was not so much to construct a soapbox, but rather to make it easier to broadcast to my friends things that I wanted to share with them.

Key topics of interest to me include computers and software, politics, airplanes, technology in general, news...

The idea that others who share my interests can jump up on the "soapbox" when they've got something to share and broadcast it out to the group is really appealing to me. They key idea here is not to focus this blog around me; rather, the goal is to focus the blog around these topics and the people that I want to share them with.

The more multidirectional we can make things, the better. The more people that can jump in and contribute to the exchange of ideas, news, and opinion, the better.

Basically, at the end of the day, my dream for this site is to create a location where interested parties can partake in discussion about the things that we all share an interest in. I'd like to have a voice, but the more voices, the better.

If you'd like to contribute, let me know and I'll invite you.

If we get a lot of people on board, we can change the name and try to turn this into something bigger than it is right now...
