Topeka ? Gov. Mark Parkinson has joined the blogosphere.

In his first blog, Parkinson gives a brief bio, likes and dislikes (“No, I haven’t forgotten the raids on Lawrence. Seriously, I haven’t”), and his concerns going forward.

And he promises original material. “This isn’t something that a staffer is writing to try to make me look good,” he wrote.

Here is Parkinson’s first blog.
