entering blogosphere
well, i've finally done it. after much hemming, hawing and other such hesitations i have started a blog. i'm still not entirely sure how much i like the idea of being a "blogger" but i figure this is the best way to keep the most people connected with what's going with me and brooke. does that make me a utilitarian?
anyway, i don't know how often i will post here. my hope would be at least once a week. if i discover that i rarely post anything i'll probably just delete the blog. once we get to new zealand i have no clue what our internet access will be like so my post regularity will definitely be affected by the situation there. i guess we'll just have to wait and see.
speaking of new zealand, things are wrapping up for us here in the states. only 19 days left before we take the long flight. brooke had her last day of work yesterday and we are heading up to michigan tomorrow. we'll be there for about two weeks before we come back to st. louis for a few days. we leave for auckland on september 4 and arrive on september 6.
one other thing to make note of before i finish this super-exciting first blog post is that i am almost completely inept when it comes to technology. this will probably severely limit my blogging abilities so if any of you fellow bloggers out there have any tips for me feel free to email me or leave your tips as comments.
well, until next time...

It's about jokin' time. But don't forget the punctuation and captials. Don't become a blogosphere slacker.
Ha ha, I guess I pictured you as more of a techy, Travis. Yes, I agree with Craig. Please use capitals. :)Hopefully I'll see you this weekend sometime.
no way... capitals are NOT necessary. :)
i hate capitals. i never use them in emails or comments. basically i only use them when i have to. maybe if enough people complain i'll start using them.
Yeah! You're a blogger now! (Resistance is futile. You WILL be assimilated....) :)
i think of capitals like khaki pants. you probably don't need them to run to the 7-11, but most people at church would look at you funny dressed in jean shorts. it's all a matter of context.
if your coming up to michigan, and find the time, give the Roer's a call! we all miss you two!
and for your next entry, tell us about your New Zealand experience. is it forever? for a few weeks? what are you doing there? trying out for The Hobbit movie?
Being a comp-u-tard is nothing to be a shamed of. No caps is a lot better than ALL CAPS. Throw puncuation out the window.
Look forward to keeping up with your blog!
yEAH, tRAVIS! I'm glad to see a whole blog just by you! And don't let these haters make you bus' a cap* up in hrrr!

Not sure if any of you have read much Dostoyevsky, but I think this quote is particularly appropriate to the subject at hand:
"The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by observing its prisoners and its email punctuation."
Granted, it's my own translation (so it's probably a little loose), but I think Fyodor still gets his point across.
craig, the "quote" you gave merely says that the degree of civilization in a society can be judged by its email punctation. it doesn't say what kind of email punctuation would determine the best civilization.
language is fixed as well as fluid. deal with it. love ya man.
