First blog post. Testing 1, 2, 3....

I've put off starting a blog for a really, really long time. I just didn't want something else hanging over my head. But I've seen many good examples for using a blog as a repository of information for a given subject over time. I just reserve the right to go dormant. So here goes....

I'll primarily be using this blog to discuss my favorite Halloween projects. I've been a fan of Halloween for a very long time now, and was an early contributor to the halloween-l usenet group. But a blog is a better vehicle I think so it is worth a try.

And finally, as to the name, Tangle of Wires. My sister once described my room as I was growing up as a "tangle of wires." Everything I do seems to come with its complement of wires, and yes, they are usually tangled. My career in I.T. has been nothing but a tangle of wires, and every Halloween project comes with a larger and larger tangle of wires. So, it seems appropriate to embrace and roll with it.
