Incoming!
Well, well, well. I wondered if posting that yearbook entry of Barack Obama would be a traffic-generator, and I guess it was. I don’t have a hit counter and I barely even look at my logs, but when my site crashes because of Daily Kos and Wonkette links, it’s a sign! (Wonkette is hysterical, subsequently picking up on the Hawaiian pidgin usage in the yearbook entry. We go blog! Laters!) Now I’ve just gotten a call from CNN, looking for background on a story I’m told they’ll run at 4pm Eastern time.
On the off-chance that Barry/Mr. Obama remembers me (um, I was in the theater/music crowd that hung out on the Alexander steps, if that helps :-) ), I’ll just apologize for any inconvenience — though I hope he’ll think, as obviously many people do, that he’s held up pretty darn well over the years.
So to all those coming here for the first time and wondering what this crazy hybrid blog is about (usually more mundane things like identity management, XML, cross-stitching, crocheting, rock ‘n’ roll…have I left anything out?) — welcome!

Well, I probably don’t have to say much more… My guess is that you’re *WELL* ahead of me, so please, by all means… *READ ON* and “STAY TUNED*! :)
