Having seen the warm welcome SAS-L gave to the apparently mothballed Techieindex Ultimate SAS Resource Portal, I'm dipping my toe into the SAS blogging waters with some trepidation.

While I didn't snag a full-time SAS gig until '99 (thanks Gautam!), I joined the ranks of SAS True Believers in '84 and have been  frequenting SAS-L since '96, so hopefully you'll cut me more slack! In this space, I'll try to provide links to interesting items culled from the Tech Press, SAS Corporate and User Group Websites, and SAS-L that folks might otherwise miss. Comments and reader-submitted tips are also welcomed.

As far as who's behind this blog, it's the folks at Weblogs, Inc., who are assembling a collection of trade weblogs. By their standards, this particular blog is a narrow-casting effort, especially when compared to their Big Dogs like Engadget. Still, I'm being provided with the same blogging infrastructure as Dallas Mavericks' owner Mark Cuban (nice to have something in common with a billionaire!) for free, not a bad deal at all.

Right now, Weblogs, Inc. is seeking new bloggers, so drop them a note if you're interested!
