First post

I'm making a first post because that's what you you when you blog, right? I'm not sure what this little blog will end up being. I'll be posting stuff that I find interesting, amusing, thought-provoking--and if my friends (or, dare I say it, people who don't know me) find it worth reading, I will be thrilled.

I haven't made any firm decisions on whether to moderate comments, or how often to post here, or even on the look of the thing, so don't be surprised if things change a great deal as I figure out exactly what I'm doing.

Well, as they say in Italian, in bocca al lupo--I'll just jump into the first real post, shall I?
