Intro

Why the name?  
Software: I love creating it.  And here I'll post anything interesting that I make.  I used to have my own website (bykurt.com) but I let it go since I really didn't have enough activity to justify keeping it.
Shop: Things come out of a shop; why not software?
Ye Olde: I've been programming since the old days of the Commodore VIC-20, so that's like, really far back.  Not as far back as punch cards, but I honestly don't mind missing that era. Still, I've been around long enough to have a blog that sounds like I'm old.
At the same time, I'm always looking for better ways to do things. This means looking in to new technologies, new frameworks, etc.  So maybe I should have picked "Ye future-looking Software shoppe"?
