Way Past Due, But Better Late Than Never

Posted by Larry Karnowski Mon, 03 Mar 2008 16:45:00 GMT

My name is Larry Karnowski, and I've been blogging about twangy and traditional music over at Hickory Wind for over five years now. Hickory Wind has been a great outlet for my musical passion, and I've met some of my best friends through that site. (You can also indirectly trace my meeting of my fiancé-soon-wife through that site too, so it's been a great experience!) However, Hickory Wind has a music audience, not a technical one. I've never been able to wax geek over there, talking about how tired I was of Java, how cool Ruby and Rails are, etc.

Now I'm making a change in my career. Instead of being at a product-based company like I have for the past eight years, I'm starting at a contract-based custom software company called Relevance next Monday. I'm crazy excited about it, and I can't wait to immerse myself into their geeky, open-source-heavy culture!

As part of this change in my career, job, and geeky culture, I've decided it's definitely time to launch this geeky blog to service my other passion -- technology. Here I'll talk about software development, user interface design, and other geeky tangents like Tolkien books, World of Warcraft, and an occasional D&D analogy.

Hickory Wind will be my manic music side, and Hickory Tech will be my manic geek side. (Here's a tip -- I'm all Hulk and no Bruce Banner, baby.)

So, if you're interested in talking Typo versus Mephisto, MovableType versus WordPress, Rails versus Spring, anything versus Java, Rogues vs Bards, and phat l00tz versus role-playing, well then you're probably at the right place.

Welcome!

    I look forward to you crooning to Heather at your wedding ala Kip from Napoleon Dynamite:

    "Yes, I love technology But not as much as you, you see But I still love technology, Always and forever."

    @Baron: Hmmm... you're welcome to talk Wordpress, but as of right now I'm using only MovableType and Typo... I'm considering Mephisto too. Thanks for coming over, though!

    @Hbogerd: Hal, the saddest part of that comment (which was pretty damn funny) was that Heather has not seen that part of the movie. A. Damn. Shame.
