My name is Perry, retired as of three days ago:), and I am really happy to become a member of your community. And a big congrats to the Steemit platorm creators for breaking out of beta today! I'm finding Steemit an amazing resource of original and honest ideas and look forward to help it grow. My interest is with the overall community and spirit behind it but also with the blockchain technology that is behind everything here and look forward to learning and sharing. Steam on, Steamians!
