el primero...

After months of reading about the popularity of blogs (which is short for web logs, in case you didn't know) and the importance they have in future of business and personal communication, I have decided to launch my own. Not only to learn a bit about how they work and put myself in a position to speak more intelligently about them, but to also start a diary of my thoughts and what's been on my mind lately. Plus, I can now send geeky, yet cool, links to my buddy Zahlaway in Boston, who has built a nice website for he and his growing family. I also have one close friend who has recently moved across to to San Fran to begin working for a blog software company, and I want to know what the heck it is that she is involved in.

I am off a recent trip to Costa Rica, my fourth venture to the rich coast in 11 years. As was the case when I returned from past trips, my head has been churning with ideas, wish lists, creative thought, etc. I think it's natural for most folks to have the same reaction... coming back from a place so different than your typical, every day surroundings. Costa Rica is a place that I have grown to love very much. It's people, landscape, language, food, vibe, dance, music...

I feel like the recent ramblings in my head spawned from this last trip will keep me busy for a while on the first ( "el primero" ) official blog I've taken a stab at.
