As a blogger, my experience has been different from yours, but I sincerely appreciate you giving us the information you gave us above (in your top comment). Let me suggest the following in place of your current intro:
"Hi, I'm Andrew Stephens, a programmer living in Boston, USA. This is my blog of random musings. You can contact me via email, Twitter, or LinkedIn."
But only include those contact details IF they can actually reliably get hold of you that way. If you ONLY check your email, then ONLY list your email and not the other two. (Your current wording suggests "good luck with that!")
People can figure out for themselves that there are no comments, that this page is your index, etc. Those comments add zero value and just give a wall of mostly useless text.
If there is a funny story behind the URL, you could include a really brief synopsis of it, such as "I bought this URL because I was inspired by Jeph Jacques' walmart.horse stunt to get a .horse domain." That would do a lot more for your blog than saying "Sorry, no info on sheep or horses."
