Yet another Blog

Posted on October 1st, 2006 by Chris Farris.

So I’ve created this blog for two purposes. The first is a test bed to play with different wordpress themes and plugins. The second is to provide an easy way to post geek related stuff I do and have it indexed by search engines in the hopes of providing help to others who might be doing similar weird things with technology.

Don’t expect frequent updates or techno-philosophical discussions. The latter will get posted to Vital Powers.
