Welcome to Ting-Do!

This is my very first posting ever. For Valentine's Day, I surprised my dear magical hubby, Bob, with tickets to see David Copperfield. In return, he gave me my very own cyber soap box. I never thought of myself as technically able-minded, but now that I have my own web and blog site, I feel truly empowered and defined as a person. Mind you, this was not easy to come by, which came as a surprise to me since I grew up with a fairly unique name. I have never known another Ting in the world aside from my family and I almost never came across another Tricia in my classes at school. So it was something of a shock to find out when I was trying to select a username for my new gmail account that triciating, tting, tyting and tinger were all already taken. Who in the world is out there using my name? I'm thinking maybe there's some Chinese geekess in silicon valley with my name, Bob guesses someone in Canada perhaps. So when he said that triciating.com was still available, I jumped at the chance to cyberize myself and become immortal in the digital web of life. Most importantly, I beat out my alter ego, that other Tricia Ting out there, from owning my dot com -- take that!

Alas, what to do with all this freedom and power? Your guess is as good as mine. My primary objective is to assail the world with my opinions as profound and important at they are, and hopefully, as an added bonus, amuse, entertain, and encourage along the way. I hope to feel connected through this blog, so I welcome any comments as long as they massage my ego.

So welcome, friends, to my wacky world. And Happy Valentine's Day to all :)
