Reason 1: Skinning Content Management Systems (CMS) is part of my repertoire within my web development practice, Skipstones Media. Already have a handle on the Nucleus CMS so the next logical step seemed to be Word Press. So far, I have to admit, WP is pretty impressive and I haven’t done anything beyond install it and start this post. Seems like a complete novice might even be able to make it work. (Will report back later once a more solid opinion has been formed.)(A skinning is in order here, but with as busy as I am with client work, who knows when it will happen.)

Reason 2: I still make stuff with my hands even though I mouse around for a living. Wanted a venue for sharing those projects.

Reason3: Writing is always going on in my head – as well as song being played for every occasion. In other words, I am always thinking hard about stuff and incidentally/accidentally putting it to music. Maybe putting some of those thoughts down would help me do something about the ideas.
