Hence the Name

Basically, I called this blog Combo Platter because there is no doubt in my mind that some (most) of you would be more than happy to substitute some of the crap that ends up on it with more meaningful (to you) material. It's like when a Mexican restaurant offers you a meal with a taco, an enchilada, and one of those gross stuffed jalapeno things. No one really wants the taco, but you deal with it to get the other stuff.

Also, a quick note regarding why this blog exists -- I have way too much time on my hands at my "real" job. No other reason. And until now, my online socializing consisted of facebook stalking with a dash of internet dating. However, both websites have now been deemed "Non-Business Sites" and are fully blocked. So going forward this is how I will spend my time, at least for the next few days until I find something else to do.
