When I started this blog I feared I wouldn't have enough to say... Now, as I think over what seems like an overwhelming list of things I have to say, that previous thought is almost foreign to me. 

I've tried to stick to the philosophy of holding this blog to one post per day because I know everyone's time is valuable and if I'm lucky enough to have you as a reader I don't want to take up too much of your time.  That said I do have a bit of a backlog so I might end up breaking that rule a little (see: Today).  Here's what I'm going to try to do over the next week or so to catch up.

I'm going to spend the next couple of days trying to put down some thoughts on my Christmas vacation and some of the things that occurred to me while I wandered around visiting with family.  In particular I got the opportunity to have some interesting discussions with people who are older than me (and not technically inclined) on the role of information technology and the differences in how I prefer information to be delivered and how they prefer information to be delivered.  I also want to talk a little about a conversation I had with a friend over why I've gone out of my way to ignore reader statistics regarding this blog (at least for the first few months) and why I think that's important for new bloggers.  Finally I'm hoping to get out a quick post about my iPhone and the various reactions to it during the holidays (again dealing with the age spectrum).

From there I'm going to be gone again to celebrate the New Year's Holiday so I'll be posting the remainder of my pre-written "Building My Blogroll" posts (that I successfully got off the broken notebook's hard drive).  I really had fun doing these posts and I hope they have been at least partially enjoyable to anyone who might be reading this blog.  The Blogosphere is a confrontational place and so a lot of the great bloggers I read never seem to get any praise (and again that includes far more than just the ones I'm listing).  It feels good to heap some praise on a few of them and give a little piece back to people who have given so much to me over the years. 

Finally, at some point in all of the above I'm hoping to throw a reply out to a very special e-mail I got.  You know you're new to the world of blogging when you get your first hate e-mail and you're excited about it.  So in celebration of this monumental occasion I'm going to post a short reply to that message. 

That's the plan for the next week or so, I hope you'll stick with me for the ride.
