First post.

Why a blog? I want to have a chance to write about the technical work I am doing, bitch about politics, propose novel political theories, talk about computers, Science, Science Fiction, Books, music and whatever else is eating up my intellectual bandwidth.

Being a programmer, much of my work is hidden. Due to the current climate regarding intellectual property, I am not allowed to even look at my past work when I leave one job for another. Often, I find that I am re-writing code that I wrote at my last job. What does it all mean? Would it be better if everything was open source? It is an essentially wasteful process. Is there a solution to problems like these?

Will anyone be interested to read this? I guess that we will see.
