don't knock it till you try it: having a blog

Don't Knock it Till You Try It started as a column in the seminal publication, the Whittier Globe. Writing the column gave me an excuse to do things that scared me or seemed kind of dorky (e.g. taking a Scientology personality test, getting a Tarot card reading, going on a Segway tour).   

Sadly, the Whittier Globe went under in 2007, and since no one asked me to continue writing it, Don't Knock it Till You Try It ceased to exist as well.  

However, there are still things I'd like to try before knocking, and that is the point of all this.
