So what’s a middle-aged man doing keeping a weblog? Well, I don’t have a good answer but I have several mediocre answers.

I’m a scientist (i.e., certified geek) and I like this particular use of computers and the internet.
My advisor in graduate school told me that every real scientist should keep a lab notebook and a personal journal. That is, a record of your work and of your life. This can be mine.
I used to email my family about all the fun stuff that the kids were doing when they were little and that little project morphed into a weblog.
I have an unreasonably hopeful idea that one day, my kids (or perhaps even a more forgetful me) will be curious about what was going on in our lives through the years. This is easier than compiling all that home video tape.
