First blog post!

After several failed attempts to create a blog from scratch I figured it would be easiest to use blogger for now. Perhaps one day I can finish one of those projects. I am not sure what will come of this blog, but my interests are personal finance, cooking, programming (both professionally and as a hobby), and gadgets. So look forward to posts on any of those subjects, and probably much much more. However a post of any substance will have to wait because the USC vs UCLA game just resumed. Go UCLA!
