Brand Spanking New...

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages... welcome to the first entry of straitjacket! I am Mike Kovac and this is my blog. First, to answer a question: What's the deal with the 'straitjacket'? - Well, much like an actual straitjacket binds and contains a person's body, I want to use this Straitjacket to contain and focus my ideas/views/hopes/thoughts/gripes/concerns-about-sentient-bicycles-taking-over-North-America/etc. However, whereas an actual straitjacket is (often) involuntary and restrictive, I intend to use this in a more liberating and exploratory way.  So, there you go. 'Nuff said.

And with that, may the blog posts begin!
