I saw a quote many years back comparing the homosexual community in San Francisco to the Obsessive Steelers fans of Pittsburgh.

The quote was "Steelers fans can be compared to a heterosexual San Francisco.".

Today, on the 'United Way' Friday, I had a glimpse. I noticed that one in ten persons wore a Steelers shirt for their casual Friday dress. Now out of about 3,500 employees, that was quite proponent.

I just thought it was un-mistakable, the overwhelming dedication to the home town sport team that I have never encountered in my life.

I have been living in SF since 1990. I just recently moved to Pittsburgh PA for a 6-month contract.

The first thing I noticed was, in general, a tendency to be lazy by most people. The most prominent example was the reason for this post in the first place.

I work at a 3 story building. There is a large lobby and there are stairs in the center of the lobby. Quick obtrusive actually. I have to walk another 10 steps to get to the elevator to get up to another level. I work on the 2nd level. Now I am just dumbfounded by all the obese persons that will not walk 1 flight of stairs. Then I hear them in the hallway complaining about how their medical coverage did not help their ...

So I have been contemplating the start of a personal BLOG for some time now. I have finally decided that I have to much pent-up anger, emotion and controversy to keep this to myself.

So what better forum to post my thoughts than BLiNC Magazine...?

I mean really. All we stand for is indifference! Right?

The real reason I want to blog here is just to be able to vent my viewpoints about life that happens.

I decided to go ahead and get the Blog plug-in for the forum. I have been going back-and-forth on it, but decided to do it.

I also plan to give a few select publishers their own Blog. In addition to that, the moderators will have a Blog.

I then plan to only allow BLiNC supporters to have a Blog, not just anyone. This is for 2 reasons.

1. BLiNC costs considerable time and money. So I would like to foster a sense of community involvement and help. It will be appreciated.
2. SPAM! If I allow just anyone to have a Blog, the Spam will quickly and easily get overrun with spam. Not a good idea.

I hope everyone likes the new forum, new BBlog, and new server!
