A First Post

Before I go on too many rants about robotics and other things that interest me I figured I'd make a starting-off post. I have not blogged before and, like meeting a new crowd of people at once, it's a bit intimidating. I doubt anyone will ever read this post, which is exactly what I want. I'm posting this to ease myself into pressing that publish button. I've spent hours writing and rewriting another post in fears that it wouldn't be well received, and it still might not be. But publishing this post is really about just putting something out there and screaming into the abyss.
