First post.  Let’s see where this goes.  If you’re viewing this post then you made my poor Frankenstein server that hosts this site groan.  It’s cobbled together out of old spare parts, but it gets the job done for now and is proof that there is always some life left in old computer parts.

The point of building the server and this site is twofold.  First, I wanted to gain some tangible, hands-on experience with Linux and web hosting/administration by utilizing the LAMP software stack.  Secondly, I wanted to start blogging about technology and experimenting with all the great social media services popping up all over the place.  This site will serve as the playground for these activities.

On a complete side note, this is a great time of year to check out Young Frankenstein and the entire Mel Brooks catalogue.
