Welcome to Cats, Computers, and the Meaning of Life!

When I first heard of blogging, I thought "what kind of retard wants to put his or her private thoughts out on the Internet for the whole world to see?" I've not ever seen a point to it until recently. I was talking to a gal I work with and she explained to me that she uses blogging to keep her long-distance family and friends whom she doesn't see often informed about what's going on in her life. Also, our 'non-technie' marketing director at work is keeping a work-related blog and seems to enjoy it very much (and finds it easy to use). That finally hit home with me and here I am!

I've not ever been great about calling people or keeping in touch...email is my preferred method of contact because I can do it at 4 in the morning or 11 at night...don't have to worry about someone being home or not either. (I might mention that I despise voicemail...one of the worst, worst things ever invented. I can speak coherently to a human being, but somehow I leave the most awful voicemails...I ramble on and end up sounding like an utter fool, I'm sure. I apologize to everyone whose voicemail I have hung up on as well as to everyone whose voicemail I will hang up on in the future.)

One last note before I turn in for the night. If you are reading this and curious about the name of my blog. Cats...because I have 7 of them (and will post pics once I figure out how to do it). Computers because I did my undergrad work in Computer Science and work as a Technology Services Analyst. And...the Meaning of Life...well...just because it sounded good. (Hey, if Monty Python can do it...)

So stay tuned and prepare for lots of fun cat photos (they are a bunch of little hams, they are) and (hopefully) some helpful computer insight (or at least helpful commiseration).
