Welcome to the blog for me — Mark Murphy, a Commons Guy. This blog is in support of CommonsWare, my nascent knowledge and software publishing house, and the Cooperative Democracy Project (CDP). If the former is my vocation, the latter is my avocation. More on what each of these are in separate upcoming posts.

This blog is being somewhat rushed into production. I hadn’t planned on starting a blog until a bit later in the year. But, opportunity is meandering my way, and I want to be able to talk about it in greater than 140 characters.

Which reminds me, you can follow me on Twitter as @commonsguy. I’m not one of those who tweets every few minutes, so if you follow me there, don’t expect tons of updates, but they’ll be more frequent (and, of course, shorter) than these blog posts.

And, with that, let the blogging begin!
