What is Steamd?

Whether I’m reading the news, I’m at work, coming into work, coming home from work, watching TV, listening to a podcast, or doing whatever it is that I do on a daily basis, eventually something will inspire me and cause me to want to tell people about it. Or it could just be something that pisses me off at the time. Either way, Steamd was born as a way to document my ideas and thoughts as well as vent some frustration should it arise.

This blog will be a no holds barred type of thing so if you’re easily offended and don’t like certain kinds of language usage then this blog won’t be for you. I feel I should be honest with my thoughts and as such will never filter them.

Feel free to post comments but keep in mind that they are moderated. I have no problems posting opposing viewpoints and will do my best to not delete any feedback, even if its a point of view I do not share. However, there will be times when I must delete some feedback, especially those that are highly abusive or simply don’t make any sense at all.

As one of the developers for the MODx CMS and PHP Application Framework you might ask why I chose to use Movable Type for this blog. The reason? One word: iPhone! There simply isn’t a way to create blog posts with MODx and an iPhone yet. Movable Type has an excellent plugin that allows me to blog with my iPhone. I love MODx and it’s by far the best damn CMS I’ve ever used. But untll we can update it to where users can use it with an iPhone or similar PDA phone I’ll stick with Movable Type for the time being.

I don’t blog daily…but I do post things fairly frequently with various links, rants, raves, and any other bullshit that happens to cross my mind. Stay tuned! :)
