speak, it ain't illegal yet

This is my first post. I have always sworn off blogs for many reasons. If you are one of those people who have yet to understand blogs, I sympathize with you. So why am I doing this? I basically want to see what the hype is about, and to see just for sure whether or not it is worth it or not. This blog will be a mixture of Linux, political things, and ideas I have for projects and research. I apologize in advance for what a bore this blog may be.
