One of my passions, other than software development, is the continued growth of the involvement among the local developer community.  I really believe the technical industry within the Birmingham area (and possibly the entire state) will reap the benefits as more and more local developers become interested in networking with other local developers.  In my opinion, blogging is one such form of this networking effort.

To that end, I wanted to pass along the word that another local blog has recently popped up on the radar.  Eric Ray, a friend and former co-worker, has recently setup a blog entitled Thinking Loudly.  He has been getting into Windows Cardspace quite a bit.  So, if that is something that interests you, check out his blog.  As he gets the site started, you might find it as a useful source of information.
