The tiki made me do it.

Welcome to my block. I mean blog. After messing that up three times in a row I figured there was a reason, so I left it that way.

I'm damn new to the blogosphere, and officially way too old to be cool. Fortunately my kids are too young for me to embarrass them yet. I'd like to say I'm wading into this because of my love of all things tech and the excitement of life in the 21st century, but that would be a load of carp. My inspiration was the vlog phenonenon of the moment known as Tiki Bar TV and the video goddess fondly known as Lala. Hey, let somebody else have noble intentions.

Hopefully, I won't spend much time pontificating. Now that approximately 6,154,674,010 human beings are spewing forth on the 'Net thanks to blogging, the typical opinion out there is worth far less than 2 cents.

I have a web site (please visit): http://www.roverdaddy.com. It's supposed to be a news parody web site ala The Borowitz Report, and a minor source of income if I can con anybody into buying a bumper sticker, T-shirt, etc. Unfortunately, I manage to come up with a clever idea about as often as George Bush admits a mistake, so the site is a lot more barren than I'd like. This blog will give me a chance to inflict my ideas on the world even when I can't come up with the next brainstorm for the site.

Well, enough with the intro. If I knew where this is going to take me, I'd probably stop now. So on with it then...
