OK, I’m game for this life-long learning thing. But at the same time, I admit that it’s giving me stomach flutters. It’s not that I’m afraid I won’t be able to get it. Heck, my philosophy is that if it’s not rocket science, it’s not rocket science. That oversimplified but gutsy view of the world has served me pretty well for over a half century. Once you learn the lingo, crack the code, most times the “unknowable” is not really all that hard.

What is hard is figuring out what’s got legs, and what’s just hype, soon to evaporate and disappear into cyberhistory. RIP Pets.com and their sock puppet.

Today Web 2.0 stuff is all the buzz, so I’m curious about what’s in it for me. Setting up a blog is super-easy. Deciding what to say, not so easy. And picking a name for my blog was downright painful.

I settled on “Almost Makes Sense” so I could write about how I feel about my strangely advanced stage in life. It’s like being a preteen all over again, but instead of looking forward to the freedom and excitement of being a teenager, I am “looking forward” (not) to the un-freedom and non-excitement of being a senior citizen. Obviously, I am at an awkward stage and have some work to do, to repair my bad attitude. Time to take some risks, try some new things, streeeeeetch out of my comfort zone. Learn2Web2, here I come!
