Category: Our Favorite Geek (TM)

OK, so welcome to the wonderful world of Just Well Mixed, my brave foray into the world of blogging. I suppose I should tell you a little bit about me, who I am, and why I'm doing this.
My name is Jason Lefkowitz. I'm a 26-year-old Web developer living in Oxford, Ohio, which is just east of nothing and a smidge north of nowhere in particular. My area of specialization is managing Web programming projects. When I'm not grinding out UML diagrams, I write short stories (maybe I'll post some here, if you're unlucky) and perform as an actor and improv comic.
All of which is fairly conventional. So why bother with a blog? Well, not to put too fine a point on the matter, but I think we're on the tip of something Really Big here by combining (a) a global, distributed network (the Net) with (b) a cheap, easily-updated publishing medium (HTML) and © a common language, so publications can syndicate each others' content (XML). It's this last piece that has been missing for many years; that's what made the Web a read-only medium for most. Now, though, it's becoming almost trivial to write and use tools that make the Web a writing medium, and as someone who loves to write and who loves the Web that made me feel like I had to get on board.
So watch this space for updates as Our Favorite Geek (that's me, kids) dons his best work boots and miners' cap (light on the top and everything) and heads off into the deep, dark recesses of the Land of Blog. Off we go!

If you think anything I write here represents the opinions of anybody but myself, you need more help than I can give you. The opinions are all mine, folks. Nobody else's.
If that's too hard to understand... well, I'm sorry. There's only so much I can do. I'm not a therapist, and I'm not a miracle worker. I wish I could help you work through your delusional belief that I'm speaking for anyone else but myself. Honestly, I do. But in the end, that's a monkey you'll have to get off your back on your own. Sorry.
