Why iTurk.com?

You know: the only person who has more blogs than I do is Tony "Kummeropolis" Kummer, so why on Earth would I open up a new blog when I can't keep the content current on my other (according to Blogger) 22 blogs?

There are three reasons, so follow me:

[1] I have owned iTurk.com since 1998, and I have only used it for (pheh) my permanent e-mail address -- and to that end, it has only brought me grief as some spammers have spoofed the domain and from time to time I get droves of complaints from people who want me to end the spam. For the record, the only person who has a legitimate e-mail address "@iturk.com" is me, and I don't run any servers. So I just thought it was time to build a homepage to call my very own.

[2] In the next 12 months I am about to have a variety of opportunities to do more than blog, and as those opportunities manifest you can read about them here. For example, Joe Carter has recruited me as part of a band of "evangelical" bloggers for FirstThings.com, and I am already causing trouble there.

[3] I am also trying to maintain the brands, so to speak, of my various endeavors. So while I want a "home page" that provides a more professional presentation, I can't really part with my personal blog, and of course in order to leave teamPyro I have to either kill or die.

So enjoy the new home page, offer your insights into how to improve it, and thanks for taking a peek.
