Hello World!

Welcome to my blog and the first of what I hope to be many posts.

First thing that I'd like to do is to thank my sisters in law (or is it sister in laws?) - Katrina (http://www.katrinaschaman.com/) for designing the template for my blog and Jessika for (http://dimsumsimon.blogspot.com/) helping me overcome my initial inertia by starting her own blog over the Christmas break.

Recognizing that the Tubes are clogged with a multitude of inane rants and ramblings, my goals for this blog are:
  1. To serve as a forum for me to express my opinions. I believe that good opinions are an art form that can only be honed through practice. And while I don't imagine anyone will read this blog, I'm hoping that eventually this blog will engage me in discussions with people I wouldn't ordinarily meet.
  2. To help bring structure to the content that I find interesting on the Interwebs. In my day-to-day work as a management consultant, I have to deal with vast amounts of data and ambiguity and distill it to a set of clear and actionable recommendations. I'll bring a similar approach to help clear the FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) propagated throughout the Webernet
  3. To serve as a repository of thoughts and activities so that I can eventually retrospectively examine how my thoughts have evolved over time. Over time I'll also add my resume, links to Facebook, Twitter and Flickr, and eventually a podcast.
Signing off to work on my first post,
Irwin
