Press Democrat blogs are moving this week to a new Web platform, a new address and a new format.  As a blogger and a reader of blogs,  I like the changes, and I hope you will, too.

If you want to earmark the URL for my new blog, Golis Being Golis, the main page is here.

Some readers will be surprised that I will be writing more about technology as well as politics. I don’t pretend to be a Steve Jobs, but I’m a student of all the ways that the Web, social networks, computers, smartphones and the other tools of the digital age are transforming our lives. As I pursue my curiosity, I want to share some of what I learn and some of what I experience.

For a long time, I’ve been writing about politics and about the news media – and it’s safe to say both are being re-invented by technological innovations.

This is, after all, a Web log.

And this is the week in which Twitter, Facebook and cellphone videos are powering democratic reform efforts in Iran – inviting the entire world to view what is happening in the streets of Tehran. The intersection of technology and social change was never more apparent.

One final note: One of my children was the first to disapprove of the new name for this blog, Golis Being Golis. Let it be said for the record that I’m still waiting for him to produce a better name.
