First of all, the mission for One Man’s Blog is simple:

The goal of One Man’s Blog is to educate, enlighten and entertain.

And who exactly is “The Man”? That would be John P., Chief Marketing Officer and Vice President for Layered Technologies, founder of HTMLHelp.com, former Vice President of Sales for SAVVIS Communications, bladesmith, welder and Direct Metal Artist, chef, computer expert and world traveler.

That’s not enough for you? Ok, here is my CV, you can find a brief bio over on Citizendium, and you can even Google the heck out of me.

John’s favorite quote:

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, and die gallantly.

Specialization is for insects.

—Robert A. Heinlein from The Notebook of Lazarus Long

That’s probably enough of the small talk so let’s get on with it!
