Blogging Again

So, I'm starting up a blog. Primarily it's (hopefully) going to be a mechanism for communicating with family and friends while I spend 16 days in China next month. I'm going to get warmed up to the blogging during the leadup time to this trip, and hopefully integrate playing with flickr and playing with blogger into one big mess o' blogging and photoblogging. Maybe the blog will outlive the trip. Maybe I'll post a variety of insightful and interesting things for some time to come. Then again maybe not; almost certainly not the insightful and interesting part.
