Slowly but surely, ActiveRain has been sucking me in.

Since I live in the Bay Area and I'm actively involved in the tech scene around here, I end up signing up for every promising new service that comes around.  Most of those accounts get abandoned after a visit or two, but there are a few that I end up sticking with.

I've had my ActiveRain account for a few months now.  To be honest, for the first couple of months, it was just another service that I tried out and abandoned.  I'd pop in every now and then and read a cool blog post of two, but for some reason it never clicked.  But I must admit that recently I've seen the light and I've come to appreciate the value this site offers to those who participate and I want in.

Therefore I've set a goal for myself, and that is to contribute to this site for the next thirty days.  Whether it's creating a new blog post, providing an insightful comment, or contributing to localism; I'm going to create, participate and look forward to seeing where this effort will lead me.
