I have a confession to make. For the last year I’ve been living a lie. Ciara and I have been living in an apartment in downtown Philadelphia, going to musicals and ballets, dining at fancy restaurants and living up the city scene. Despite all this, I am a country boy. I like backpacking, clean air, John Denver, wide open spaces and I don’t really enjoy large groups of people. So we’re moving to the suburbs.

Actually, Ciara and I really like living in the city, but unfortunately, we wanted to get a car, and a bigger apartment, so the city just didn’t make sense any more. Assuming there are no catastrophes between now and July, we’ll be moving and buying a car so that we can go backpacking and explore the East Coast.

We have both missed backpacking a lot, and are getting excited about finally having a car and being able to go. In fact, originally this site was supposed to be a place for me to talk about technology and also post trip reports from backpacking trips. We haven’t been backpacking in what seems like forever, so it just turned into a technology blog.

From now on, it’s going to be both. Once we start taking trips, I?ll be posting them here but also blogging about technology and a lot about Rich Internet Apps. Sometimes, the topics will intersect and other times I’ll just be blogging about economics, stocks or hockey.

Also, if you have any good car suggestions, let me know. We’re planning to buy one sometime in early June.
