				<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Updated 2026-09-29&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Welcome and thank you for visiting my blog. My name is Kurt Meyer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Initially, I began sharing interesting links with co-workers, friends, and relatives via email in a shotgun fashion. Later, I came up with the idea of compiling commentary, info, links, reviews, and tips and sending the compilation in a weekly email. One of the recipients of my weekly emails suggested starting a blog.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I played around with the Ghost publishing platform for a few days in January 2016. Hosting costs with &#xA;&#xA;&lt;a href=&#34;https://ghost.org&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;Ghost.org&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;&#xA; (even more expensive now), and the thought that I really didn’t have enough to write about to run a blog, quickly led me to abandon the blog idea.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
