Back online

I made limited use of social sites in the last couple of years - no Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn. I got tired of the ads or redirection to content I found distracting. Just because I read one article about making a Lemon Pound Cake, and now I need to see suggestions on joining groups or adding people to my connection with an interest in "pound cake", "pound" or "cake"?

I have also not spent any time publishing on my blog. In parts, it is because I have been writing on IBM Cloud Blog. But also because the tool I was using to publish was less than satisfactory, and I procrastinated in identifying a new one. I finally took the time to do a bit of research, found a good alternative, and made the switch.

I feel ready to start a new year, and I plan to discuss some of my side projects from the last couple of years.
