It&#39;s ok. It&#39;s not weird. I promise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Secondly, this is my personal blog.&nbsp; I don&#39;t blog on any 1 thing in particular, but you&#39;ll probably notice certain trends in my thinking during extended periods of time.&nbsp; I tend to get into a subject, and if I like it I really dig my heels in.&nbsp; It&#39;s how I am with most things in life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite putting a bunch of things about myself online in various places, and keeping those social networking &amp; social media presences of mine open to the public, I&#39;m actually a pretty private person.&nbsp; You won&#39;t find any &quot;sensitive&quot; information attached to anything of importance&nbsp; released publicly.&nbsp; I&#39;ve been on some nationally televised TV shows, here and there, over the years, I&#39;m also involved in some media production on a smaller scale here in Maine, and all of that can occasionally draw people to my personal accounts, online.&nbsp; You can see links to some of my media involvements, in different places, dotted throughout Planet YahYah.&nbsp; It really is because of these involvements that I keep my social media accounts open to the public. This way I&#39;m not hurting anyone&#39;s feelings by telling them I only accept friend requests by people I know, or have met or worked with, in person.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While I&#39;m pretty &#8230; wordy &#8230; in my other online presences, I tend to keep my thoughts there shorter than I would on something like a personal blog &#8211; hence, Planet YahYah. I used to blog on a platform that closed roughly 8 years ago, or so, with a bunch of people who ported over to Facebook with me when it shut down.&nbsp; I missed having a place to just ramble-on about anything, and nothing in particular, and with no specific audience.&nbsp; I know most people loathe the thought of writing, but it&#39;s not something I really think about in that way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although I do encourage comments and responses to my postings, I&#39;m oftentimes forced to shut that option off for various reasons.&nbsp; If you run your own personal blog you can probably identify those reasons pretty immediately.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So, what you&#39;re likely to find here at Planet YahYah?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Original writings<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Original thoughts, ideas, philosophical musings<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Original poetry<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Original photography<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Shameless self promotion for whatever I&#39;m involved with at any given time<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8230; and things along those lines<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While this is my personal blog, and I maintain the bulk of its existence, I <strong><em>do<\/em><\/strong> have to give a shout-out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.taknology.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">to my husband<\/a>.&nbsp; He keeps my blog running 24\/7, in every way imaginable.&nbsp; He&#39;s extremely adept with all things &quot;coding&quot;, and a ton of internet techy subjects that fall well outside his realm of responsibility.&nbsp; He&#39;s worked for start-ups, UNUM, Microsoft, and a few other national names you&#39;d likely recognize, so I&#39;m super lucky to have him as my webmaster.&nbsp; I love knowing the same person who&#39;s held titles like &quot;CIO&quot;, &quot;CTO&quot;, &quot;Director of Worldwide Operations&quot;, and &quot;Vice President&quot;&nbsp; &#8230;. is my &#39;web guy&#39;. He&#39;s really quite amazing.&nbsp; Just one of the billion trillion reasons I love him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you have any questions, comments, or you need to reach me personally you can always e-mail me at yahyah&nbsp; @&nbsp; planetyahyah . com&nbsp; (take out the spaces).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just a few things you might want to know about Planet YahYah: First of all, if you landed here by accident &#8211; it&#39;s your lucky day.&nbsp; You can believe it.
