Why This Blog Exists
The small handful of people who will potentially read this blog may wonder why it exists. I already have one blog, albeit a strange and often dark one. The primary reason is that I feel the need to keep my internal reality separated to avoid contamination. That, and it would sort of ruin the mistique of Patterns in Noise if every other post was a link to a nerdy Slashdot article or goofy video of a rapping jelly doughnut.
The second reason is that many interesting blogs out there choose not to allow comments on their sites. This effectively moves the conversation out into the blogs of others. Basically, I wanted to be able to take part.
This seems to be where the Web is going, so I'm just along for the ride.
