About GUOM

Give Us One Minute (GUOM) is a personal blog. As the tagline suggests, it is simply a random stream of consciousness about the things in life we find interesting.

So what can you expect when you Give Us One Minute? In all honesty, there’s no telling. We have very short attention spans and regularly move from interest to interest and project to project. Maybe because we have mild forms off adult ADD or maybe we just have a large number of interests. You know, “jack of all trades…master of none.” We’ll hope its more of the later, but whatever the case, we will post both our thoughts on articles posted by others or, more likely, original content about what’s on our minds or what we think readers might find interesting.

Keeping in mind that this is OUR website, the posts you find here will obviously be things we enjoy. This site is not designed for a specific demographic, it’s simply our place to post and share our stuff and stuff we enjoy (stuff being the very technical term of course). If others like our stuff, that just makes us feel good. We like our readers and we really like finding out that folks enjoy our content and thoughts. We would also like to get your feedback on our posts and original content. So, for the two of you reading our site on a regular basis (thanks family), feel free to leave your comments on any post.
