Let's try this (Pass 2)...


Sorry for the nonsensical blog posts, ladies and gentlemen. I need a few passes through to get comfortable with some of the tools, as I've done minimal stuff with web based gadgetry in the past. This post has two simple purposes: I want to add a photo, and get a http link to work. Thus, this is mostly a test post.

I can hear you asking where the heck is Qatar? Qatar is a country on a peninsula jutting into the Persian Gulf from the the Arab peninsula, i.e. it is a sub-peninsula. See here for more details. As with any peninsula, it is surrounded on three sides by water, and in Qatar's case, this leads to miles of beautiful coastlines, such as the photo to immediately above this sentence.

So, let's try this....

My name is Ed Brothers, and I am in the process of accepting a job at Texas A&M's branch campus in Education City, Qatar, in the Middle East. As I have friends in several geographically disparate locations, (PA, Houston, etc.) I've decided to put together a simple blog to keep everyone abreast of what is going on. More details to follow!
