    If you prefer my tweets and shared reader bits and delicious links to the infrequent and sometimes long-winded content here at what passes for a blog, click on through from that reader of yours and take a look at the right side of your screen. (Actually, let me check that in a few browsers first……

    I’ve been quietly working up a redesign for this blog at random moments a few minutes at a time. I was due to make a change — the last iteration lasted more than eight months. You’ll find the usual bells and whistles and links down low, past a few recent posts. Differences and details: Bluer.…

    I’m in the middle of an upgrade to WordPress 2.3, but I’m getting pulled away to other duties before I finish straightening out importing old UTW tags to the new 2.3 built-in tagging hotness. So a few things, like tags, are broken at the moment. I’ll update later (tonight?) when I fix them. But, hey,…

    It’s not organized as well as I’d like, and it’s neither finished nor comprehensive, but if you can’t help but be interested in the sort of stories I wrote as a reporter (way back in 2006, mind you), there are now a few clips from the Spartan Daily and Oakland Tribune posted on my Work…

    If you get the feeling I haven’t been writing here as much lately, you’re right. But I’m still out here, reading everything I can get my hands on and throwing up links left and right.  They’re just not always where you’re expecting them, eh? So then, if the meager postings to Delicious you find on…

    It’s not midnight here yet, or I’d be fast asleep (partying UCSC student neighbors have no effect on me when the head hits the pillow), but it’s late enough to flick the stylesheet back on. Thanks to everyone who got naked with me. And everyone who made amusing remarks about it on Twitter. And to…

    I’m starting to peel back the layers of plugins and turn on some new stuff, so don’t be alarmed, dear readers (both of you), if things break around here for parts of tonight and tomorrow. So, why not go look at some cute cats instead of reading the usual hand-wringing, eh? (Five minutes later…) …Well…
