MAGIC         PORK

I finally jumped on the bandwagon and decided to try my hand at this blogging thing. You know kids, in my day we had things called “homepages”. It was plain blue hyperlinks on a solid background (or tiny tiled images). I even had one for a little while but never told anyone about it and was too lazy to put much up there so it died. Probably what will happen here too.

You kids don’t know how good you have it with your fancy blogging software. People can post comments! Comments! How crazy is that?? And I still don’t get what a “trackback” is all about. In my day…

OK, the nurse just gave me my medicine so I’m much more calm now.

This site is definitely a work in progress so bear with me for now.

The first question I’m sure people will ask is why “magic pork”? There is a little backstory to it. Some of the folks I used to work with at Blue Lobster Software may remember, but it’s stupid and irrelevant to why I chose it so I’ll spare you. I just chose it because:

• It popped into my head and I thought it sounded like a cool name for a website. What can I say? It gave me a chuckle.
• Why is a job search site called Monster.com? Who knows. GoDaddy.com, they sell domain name registrations because that’s what you’d expect from a site called GoDaddy. They don’t care that their names make no sense so neither should I.
• You try to find a good original domain name that’s not already taken!
• I think it would also make a good name for a porn site, so I figure eventually as the good .com names run out, someone will come trying to buy it off of me. And then I can CASH IN!!

But really… do you need to ask what’s magic about pork? I didn’t think so. (Jews & Muslims: you can just think of it as evil magic.)
