There are probably quite a few questions that the random visitor would have about this site. Perhaps the foremost amongst those questions is “How did you come up with this name?” The name comes from a friend of mine who annoyingly but successfully organized many of the things my friends and I did together. The original purpose of this site was to help all of us keep in touch after moving to different parts of the globe. Since this was an organizational thing, it seemed natural to name the site “blaynesucks.com” in honor of Blayne, and the rest is history. (Honestly, what would you do if your friends got together and decided to use the domain name “blaynesucks.com” as a way to help keep in touch? That’s basically what has happened to Blayne.)

Currently the site is a personal blog / soapbox for me. You can read more about me in my Biography page, but in short I’m a computer geek that likes to rant about various things from Entertainment to Sports to Technology to Public Policy. Some of my interests include computer security, Indiana sports teams, and figuring out how to get toothpaste back in the tube efficiently. Most likely, much of this blog will be technology policy and computer security related though.

This blog uses the WordPress platform. The theme for this site was designed by WebRevolutionary, and you can download a copy of it here: ColdBlue. I have made a few customizations, but the vast majority of the layout and design is still as it was originally designed. I am hosting my own pictures with Gallery 2 and the WPG2 plugin.

I tend to post announcements about the design or blogging software I use in the Website News category when I update it.
