Hi, I'm Matt Stoddart.

I have to start this whole thing off with a preface: I'm reluctant to do this. Why? Because I like to do things well. And because good blogs require consistency. And because good blogs require thought. And most discouragingly, good blogs require a lot of time.

Sadly, I can't contribute any of the aforementioned qualities to this particular blog.

BUT...

There's something on my mind...I think. And I just might want to talk about it.

I'm pretty excited about some things going on in my professional life right now and my personality requires me to express my feelings somehow. And opposed to beating my family or friends into complete submission with the minutiae of shop-talk, I figured I'd just write another lame friggin blog. Nobody will read it. It's for me, so screw it.

Here's my blog-oath to myself:

• I will not discuss my gorgeous wife or my two beautiful daughters. (Maybe I watch too much Dateline NBC: To Catch a Predator)
• I will not attempt to monetize this lame blog
• I WILL blow off steam at will

Now that that's out of the way, let's see what happens.
