Hello! My Name Is _Reuven_

I thought I'd start off by introducing myself and my blog. My name is Reuven Weiser; I'm 25 years old. I grew up in New Jersey, but I now live and work (as a computer programmer) in Manhattan. You can find out a bit more about me at my other home page, though I don't update that site all that often any more.

As you can see there, I have somewhat of a flair for graphics not yet reflected on this page. I do hope to redesign this site eventually, both graphically and functionally. A comments system would be nice. I'm pretty sure I could program a blog system better than what Blogger/BlogSpot provides, but for now this is free and quick and easy. Maybe I'll check out MoveableType.

I'm not yet sure what form this blog will take. I don't think it will be as single-minded as some other blogs out there, so it probably won't win any Bloggies for "Most Humorous Weblog," "Best Weblog About Politics" or "Best Computers or Technology Weblog," but hopefully it will be a nice blend of those and other topics that matches my eclectic tastes.

And finally, a note about the name of the blog. Yes, I know it's not a word. But then neither is "InstaPundit" or "OxBlog." I wanted to call it "IdeaLog," but that was already taken (by a complete waste of space, I might add), as were a bunch of other good names, so I decided to make up a word. I'm not yet sure what it means, though I do I have a vague idea. Maybe I'll try to come up with a formal definition later on; for now, I just like the way it sounds.
