Weblogs:

If the answer is 42, what is the question?

Serenity has dared to post what has been lurking in my mind for quite a while. She is searching for a niche, and I have had the same feeling of needing to find a place for my weblog. There are many out there writing weblogs, some extremely funny, some experts in some field or another, some current or ex-military, some lawyers, some with way too much time on their hands, some just simply engaging writers who don't worry excessively about whether they are perceived accurately or not. There are many who are so firm in their convictions that anyone who does not agree with them is regarded as a "moonbat", and there are some who go missing periodically.

I rarely post in the fields of my expertise because I write in that dry style every day in my work. I don't want the work I put into this weblog to be on science and technology. I do post opinions and commentary because I have strong convictions, but I am always questioning the detailed policies that arise out of my fundamental principles. Overly analytical writing on political topics is too cold blooded for me, many times neglecting the important factor of humanity. Strong emotions, especially those attached to ideas, generate strong suspicion in me. My continual questioning keeps me from fitting into any group (hence my absence from any of the Commisar's maps!!!).

So, as Serenity said, if anyone finds a niche out there looking for a nice home, let me know!

Hey, if you want a REAL prize, I'll have to give a challenging question...
