first post!

OK, here it is. I'm officially the last geek on earth with a blog.

Regarding the name: I believe the universe is fundamentally made up of information. In one frame of reference which I'll call "mine", there are four basic facets or aspects of information which appear to exist:

  1. Space - everything seems to have a position in three "dimensions"
  2. Time - events seem to occur in a linear framework
  3. Matter - some things appear to have mass and volume (substance)
  4. Energy - things seem to change position and interact with each other causing changes
And then, of course, there's... well... UNIX. Yes, UNIX. I'm a UNIX systems administrator for a large corporation in the St. Louis, MO, USA area.

OK, that's about it for now. More later.
