Who is This Guy? and What's He Doing?

I tweaked this blog's header today, but didn't have the heart to throw out some of the text. So:

• Who am I?
  A blogger whose home state is north of the flyover states, and whose state of mind is far from the coastal trade routes
• What am I doing here?
  Taking a look at blogs, the blogosphere, other blogish matters and anything else on the Web, with micro-reviews, observations and opinions.

There's more to me than that, of course: That's me, in relation to this blog.
