			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>, as of February 2011, there were over 156 million public blogs in existence, give or take a few.  Roughly, that&#8217;s enough blogs for every person in Bangladesh, India to have a blog or half of the <a href="http://www.census.gov/main/www/popclock.html" target="_blank">American population</a> as of this writing.</p>
<p>What I&#8217;m saying is that the world really doesn&#8217;t need another blog.  So why bother?  </p>
<p>First, for the same reason a lot of people do it:  It&#8217;s my site, and I can.  More importantly, though, because friends often ask me, &#8220;How do you &#8230; [fill in the blank] &#8230; &#8221; and, by having an online index, I can save a little time when asked for the same information a second or third time.  Also, because, once in a while, I&#8217;ll come across a problem and find the solution buried in the thirty-third website I view, and by putting it here, maybe someone else won&#8217;t have to look quite as hard to find said solution.  And, finally, now and again, I just feel like writing about something, and &#8212; getting back to my original reason &#8212; it&#8217;s my site, and I can.</p>
<p>This blog, which we&#8217;ve dubbed <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">13</span>log</strong> (like that?), doesn&#8217;t aspire to be the be-all-end-all of a particular topic.  It&#8217;s not going to be the &#8220;go to&#8221; place for photo tips or recipes or any one thing in particular.  It&#8217;s going to be a random place (because it&#8217;s my site, and I can, remember?) with random topics that you may find interesting or helpful.</p>
<p>We may post something geekish, crafty, newsworthy, charitable, or not so much.  And while a particular topic may bore you, what we won&#8217;t do is bore you with just one topic.</p>
<p>So, let&#8217;s hit the blogosphere &#8230;</p>
