The Purpose of this Blog (none yet)

This blog will chronicle my adventures in TechLand (i.e. silicon valley). I've lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for almost 15 years, and have decided that its time to share my perspective on life here. Hopefully, this blog will help achieve several goals:

1) Document my life in some manner.
2) Resuscitate my deteriorating writing skills
3) Provide some perspective as to what its like to live in Silicon Valley

Wow, what lofty goals. The reality of the situation is that I just want to improve my online presence/reputation so that I can fit in with the rest of Silicon Valley. In fact, my online presence is so poor that I probably could never get another job in the tech industry, despite the fact that I have PhD from Stanford and have a good 10 years experience doing tech related stuff. In fact, a Google search of "Andy Singh" results in a bunch of results that have nothing to do with me. God forbid, most recruiters probably think I am amateur fighter, or a general manager in the Toronto, Canada area.

Well, I better get cracking, and get my web 2.0 rep in order, hopefully, before web 3.0 ...
