This is the permanent (hopefully) web presence for me, Payam Minoofar. Until the viewership of this blog increases to anything significant, it is purely a repository for my occasional ruminations, an object to receive my gripes absent an ear willing to listen.

I recently discovered this magnificent theme, White House. It is so named because it is modeled after the them for The White House’s web site, www.whitehouse.gov. I’m presently experimenting with it, and I’m digging it. I am certain that this blog will contain far less “content” than that provided by the White House’s web site, but I am confident that my blog will be infinitely more sincere and honest in what it disseminates than anything published by the White House regardless of the party in power.

The picture that currently graces the top of the blog was taken by me with my Kodak Z812 IS. The orca pictured is the mother of a pod that happened upon the boat to Santa Cruz Island in December of 2008. It was quite a magical, mystical moment.
