First Post

I'm hoping to write a bit more. After finishing graduate school, I found myself with less venues and opportunities to write at length about the state of my life and the world as I see it. Sure, there's facebook and twitter, but those tend to be more for short opinions and quick social status updates. Hopefully this will give me some space to write at reasonable length about random topics from life after leaving the ivory towers of academia, to ideas on the direction of technology, and to some philosophical essays. -CiVi
