Alright, after no ado, we have J.R.’s blog and home on the web. Soon enough, the homepage of this site will be http://www.runningskull.com The site is off the subdomain, and runningskull.com is now live!, and you’ll go to a homepage of sorts instead of this blog. I’m also going to update the pages linked to above, so that they’ll be more than a gaping gray screen when you click on them. I’m also going to get a nice footer down there at the bottom. Footers are cool, m’kay.

Why a blog/website? I think that a blog is fast becoming a great supplement to/replacement for a resumé, and it’s about darn time I started one up. I’m a geek and such anyway. I also am going to use the site as a sort of professional homepage. I do freelancing work and entrepreneurial-based side projects, so I’d like to advertise my services and products here. Plus, I think this whole internet thing could take off.

I also used to like to write a lot. Then I came to tech, where code > prose, and I’ve lost some of that love for language. Time to get it back.

It’s not going to be all professional, though. I like a lot more stuff than just computers, and in order to really get a feel for me, you’re going to have to listen to me ramble on about running, hiking, kayaking, playing banjo, camping, cooking, being in college, my all-knowing and controversial insights into humanity, travel, sports, incredibly witty satire and whatever else pops into my mind late at night when any sane person is asleep. If I thought it might smell good, I’d call it potpourri.

And best of all, no one is ever going to read this post! Yipee ki yay!

Oh, and also, I can only test this in Firefox (linux), Firefox (Vista) and IE7 (Vista). If you notice something looking funky, please let me know, and let me know what browser/OS you are using. Screenshots are gold, but if you see something stupid and don’t feel like putting in all that effort, just reply to this post. Thanks.
