It's Alive

So, I started this and really had no idea what to do/delusions of grandeur/no commitment to this. But I think it's something I want to do. So here's my deal. I'm writing this for me, while things I say are generally what I want others to hear, I'm not going to assume that I'm a great and fantastic blogger so my main audience will have to be me in this space. I'm going to try and stick to a schedule, update about 2-3x a week. One post will be centered on my personal spending/budgeting, another on some frugal/personal finance topic I want to touch on, and some strewn about geekery.

Now I still think that my main forays into the whole blogging arena will mostly be in commenting. I like the back and forth that can develop there, and usually people's topics will get me thinking maybe outside the scope of the post. That's when it's time to come here and make my own. For the most part I'm terrible at advertising, just not my thing (also given that I don't really want to 'monetize my blog', no incentive to really either). So I expect the majority of people who come here are from following any links I've dropped in comments, or maybe if I submit my post for one of those carnival type things.

One thing I need to figure out is just how out there I want to throw my personal life/events. My concern really isn't for myself, but more for anyone who's associated with me, might not want information related to them just floating about the net (admittedly a rather dimly lit area of it). So I'll probably stick with posting about such things in more general terms, maybe a few anecdotes, but generally trying to leave out anything readily identifiable about others.

So that's that, expect a new post by Monday about my weekend shopping (still doing the couponing thing), and plans for the week ahead.
