Welcome to This Is What’s Cool!. I started this blog as an informational site where we can talk about different topics. I used to just read other blogs and wonder why I never started one. This is my chance to exlpain things from my point of view, instead of silently listening to what others have to say. This blog will be interactive, so I want comments and opinions regardless of how tame or blunt they may be. No one ever expressed themself by being nice about it. Over the next few months we will be talking about a wide range of topics, some important and others just for fun. I hope this gives you all a forum to use when talking about the important topics that we will review.
A little more about me: My name is Steve. I work in IT as a manager, but am really starting to like the online world. If I could make a living by writing blog posts, I would have left my job a long time ago. I am married with a baby girl on the way. So obviously I have many things in my life to keep me busy, but I am adding this blog as one more! Read the rest of this entry »
