I am now off to see whether it will be a useful expense of my time to become another of the millions who blog. I expect that the most interested readers of this will be me and maybe my wife. If I am successful, I can probably rope in close friends and my mom. The intent of this blog is to script some of my thoughts that come into my head as I commute to work on my bicycle— a man, who is in effect a motor, so hence motorman.org. Choosing the name of this site was actually not that clever, two months ago I walked by an exhibit on streetcars and there was a mannequin in a conductor’s uniform and the label on the hat was “Motorman.” And I kind of like it, so there you go.

If you have made it this far, thank you and congratulations. I will try to write in a fashion that does not bore you, on topics such as politics, books, public policy, and the economy or why there is Braille on the drive-up ATM at Wells Fargo. I will hope to write as much as I can so that some day my enemies can use these pages to highlight my ultra-conservative views on the world and use them against me at an opportunistic time.

Feel free to leave your comments and check back when you need to waste time or help falling asleep.
