Welcome!

Hi there, and welcome to BobRench.com. I am glad you have chosen to spend a little time here.

I intend for this blog to be a primary place where you and I can share ideas and thoughts, whether about my books or about life in general. I look forward to having great conversations with you.

I hope you don't mind, but you will need to register to post comments. Hopefully, this will keep out the riff-raff and trolls who, for some reason, take great pleasure in making life miserable for others in an anonymous fashion.

My interests--and, subsequently, the contents of this blog--can be summed up in one word: Everything. I have yet to find a subject out there that doesn't have at least one or two interesting facets to it. Let me take that back ... actuarial science probably won't ever make an appearance in these pages. (Now, watch ... some actuarial scientist will write to me and point out a few interesting things. Go ahead ... I'd love to learn something new!)

I realize that "Everything" encompasses quite a few topics, so here's a short list of the things that might find their place on these pages:

• Writing / Self-publishing
• Podcasting
• Philosophy
• History
• Quantum Mechanics
• Programming
• Languages
• Word Play / Puns / Humor
• Religion
• Life
• Motorcycles
  

So, again, thanks for joining me on this journey. I can't wait to hear from you.

And, just so we are all on the same page, I absolutely believe in freedom of speech. Every single one of us has the right to say whatever we want. However, if someone writes something that I consider utterly offensive, blasphemous, or completely off-topic, I will exercise my right not to have it on these pages and will remove it.

I can already hear someone asking, "How can you do that? I thought you believed in freedom of speech!"

Well, I do. Just remember, everyone is allowed to say what they want to say. That is freedom of speech. However, there are no laws stating how long the words said have to be allowed to linger. Thus, I can allow a person to have their say, but still not subject the rest of the readers to stuff that doesn't benefit the majority.

Hopefully, it won't be a problem. For those who might cry "Censorship!", my only suggestion is to find a forum that is more open to those types of postings. And if the forum cannot be found, then one is always free to start one's own.

Peace.

Bob
