But, and it's a big but, to use many of the features of other people's MySpace pages (Trying to view one of my cousin's pics is what started this all.) one needs an account. And once you've got an account, you've got a page, blog, profile, etc. so I figured I'd just make the best of it. (It may seem odd for a self professed geek to not have a MySpace, but MySpace is a pop phenom and us geeks have already flocked to similar (but older) services or written our own pages or content management systems.)

At some point in the future, I'll likely write a MySpace integration module that'll automatically bridge blog entries between my personal blog and MySpace. However, my personal blog hasn't gone live yet, so in the mean time, I'll do my blogging here. (Be warned, I notoriously lazy when it comes to updating blogs and webpages ...)
