hmmm... is this thing working?

blogging... why not? this is my first experiement with blogging. i've been in the trenches of web publishing since 1998, when i created and launched mingles.com, an online personals and dating community. the personals business on the web has since entered the mainstream, but in 1998 it was anything but.

i'm not sure what i'm going to write here... but i think it could become a place to post my thoughts and experience as i continue to battle the corporate consolidation of the web...
