Blogging seems to be all the rage, so what the heck? I'll follow the lemmings over the cliff too! It probably won't get me elected President, but maybe some interesting discussions will come out of it... Beware, however: I speak my mind here, and I'm pretty frank and open. Some may be offended at the content and/or opinions. If you're easily offended, you might want to look elsewhere for reading material.

When/If you post a comment (and I hope you will!), be sure to put in a URL --- even if you just use mine (http://alan.batie.org/) --- if you don't, your email address will get put in as a link on your name, and you'll suddenly find yourself on Spam Central. Not my doing, I promise you! They scan websites for embedded email addresses. You've been warned --- I really don't wish spam on anyone (well, ok, maybe the spammers themselves)!

Finally, if you want to be notified when I post the this blog, signup on the lemmings mailing list.

Introduction

Well, where to start? I just put this up while I was waiting for some video editing transcoding to complete. Seemed like a more organized way to have my soapbox and also to get feedback from the few people who might read it. I'll play with it a bit and see where it goes. I have definite opinions on politics, and like to dabble with filmmaking, so I'll probably have an area for that. I'll probably create a whole separate blog for the Batie Family; I'm interested in genealogy, but not enough to take over as family historian. Since the current member in that defacto position is giving it up, I'm hoping that maybe this would facilitate a replacement or a group effort. At least the newsletter part. But, enough for now. Got to go back to editing...
