I have no audience to please or satisfy.  I don&#8217;t harbor any fantasies of the importance of this space.  I do, however, very much use these pages as an offbeat historical record.  I note the updates about the kids.  I follow my old thoughts as an active reader.  And, occasionally, I remember that the process of simply writing is often an exercise worth doing.

That might mean many things &#8212; the sandbox I hope to build for my two little boys or the paint I&#8217;m certain the wife hopes I finally get around to applying to the walls &#8212; but, mostly, it meant I wanted write.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to write more about gaming, a personal hobby and industry in flux.

An outstanding percentage of software related writing outside of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.joelonsoftware.com\/\">Joel on Software<\/a> is either boring, lacking style, or both.  Some of it makes my eyes bleed.  Some of it makes them close.  I wonder how I&#8217;d do.  Is my quirky style interesting to others?  Is my quirky style interesting to me?<\/p>\n<p>But mostly, I wanted to get back on track.  Shake the dust off.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to view your home page as a vacant wasteland.
