  As my increased volume and pace of posts indicates, I am quickly becoming addicted to this blogging thing. Hopefully soon I'll be able to publicize it a bit, get a little bit of a readership. I'd also like to have some more time to write a little bit more of my own stuff, rather than constantly linking to news stories. But still... I'd like to make this the kind of blog where if you're at work, you have some time to kill, this is a good place to come check out.
