Welcome to my blog - both of you!

For my first blog entry, I wanted to explain why I'm calling this blog "Check It Out." I'm planning to recommend books, movies, websites, organizations and products - which is why the URL of this blog is stuffsteveloves@blogspot.com. (All the great URLs were already taken!)

But this blog isn't only about the stuff I love. I'm going to use this blog as a soapbox to warn readers about the people and companies I've discovered are less than reputable.

I'm sure that my views will spark a good deal of spirited discussion ... once people know about this blog. So thank you - both of you who are reading this - for telling all your friends and coworkers about stuffsteveloves@blogspot.com!
