Dearest Gentle Reader,

Welcome to The Shorted Turn!  This is the first post on this “blog”, so let us do the customary thing and set the goals for this site:

1. Become the leading source of information on all aspects of Electrical Engineering and Software Development, thus finally giving the Internet the legitimacy it so sorely needs.
2. Become a dumping ground for my random rants, ramblings, manifestos, and crackpot theories on all things related to Electrical Engineering and Software Development, and probably a smattering of other topics.

Only time will tell how successful we will be in reaching each of these goals, but as a wise man once said,

“You can’t win if you don’t enter.”

Or perhaps that was Ed McMahon.  At any rate, sit back, relax, and keep a watchful eye on this “blog”, because with a little good ol’-fashioned gumption and lot of elbow grease, why, I think we just might be able to turn this “Internet” from a mere passing fad into a truly useful tool for professionals and non-professionals alike!

Until next time Gentle Reader, I remain,
