The start of (yet another) blog!

Okay, so first a new website and then a new blog? What's up with that? Well, if Bill Gates and Wil Wheaton can have their own presence on the web, why can't I? Besides, I need something to do w/ all that pent up unemployed time to prove (perhaps to myself) that I am capable of figuring out technology...

Why Blogger, you ask? Well, I've tried LiveJournal and SoulCast and both are fine sites, but I find that Blogger is easily customizable to my own site's template. And I think that a consistant look and feel is important. It looks a little strange right now, but I will work on making it look prettier - I promise.

I call my blog Red Kees Craze, mostly because I needed to put a title into Blogger. I named it after my crazy keeshond named Helmut. Besides being crazy, he's started to develop some reddish, rusty colored fur, making him very odd for a keeshond and absolutely un-showable. (Not that it matters - we wanted a pet dog, not a show dog.) For those who might not know, the correct way to pronounce keeshond is "cayz-hund" (making Kees rhyme with Craze for my "catchy" title!). Do I pronounce it this way around my friends? Admittedly, no. For the sake of simplicity, I say "keesh-ond," making it sound something like the way it's spelled. So, it seems that Helmut is not allowed in the dog show and I would be shunned by "true" Keeshond enthusiasts, too.

My goal is to find interesting subjects to write about so that people will want to read my blog and comment on it. So, if by some strange chance, you are reading this, thank you and please if you like it, send your friends to me!
