For the first part of last week I was only making comments and trying to curate. One because I needed to get the lay of the land and two, bandwidth.

Then I realized there was an #introduceyourself tag and so I actually did that on Thursday.

This week, I've been posting twice a day, once in the morning and one in the evening. Still commenting and curating as much as I can.

I think I officially turn 11-days-old in Steemit time in less than an hour, so I haven't been around long enough to give up hope yet. I have a friend @bbrewer who introduced me to Steemit and he let me know more or less what to expect (he didn't want to have me turn tail over the rest—actually, though, there's plenty here you just need to experience and figure out for yourself).

That said, I'm not rushing out to endorse the place to anyone who isn't already here, but I also have hope that Steemit and anything else it inspires to be built upon its blockchain and basic principles will reach its great potential.

You've been really kind to me, too. Everything you've said about me I say back to you.
