And maybe one day it's YOUR name people will set Google alerts for! :-)

I have no real desire to be one of the rich and famous. Well, no real desire to be one of the famous: being rich would not be so bad, I think.

Nelson,
I don't particularly desire riches, but I would to a certain degree appreciate a role representing Geeks to the masses. I have a draft post dealing with this that I will put up in the future, but being a techie has become almost cool. I partially credit Bill Gates who is the quintessential nerd, but he has somehow managed to become the richest man in the world.

I also don't particularly desire fame, but I would not fight against if it came with the territory of having a public forum to share my thoughts.

I can appreciate that. I think that is one of the reasons so many people post blogs now. There seems to exist a need to express ourselves in a relatively anonymous, yet public way. I know when no one reads what I have written, I am a little disappointed. This is odd, because my blog is 'supposedly' mainly about having a place to put my thoughts. That others read them and comment on them should be icing on the cake. Yet more and more, I experience disappointment if no one comments.

So of course, I take that personal viewpoint and apply it to all bloggers in general. If I am like this, everyone else is too. Kidding, of course, but I do believe there is a fair amount of truth in that generalization, even if I have no proof.

I am here! I exist! Acknowledge my existence!

I dunno really...

But it's a good outlet.
