Explanation

All right. So I suppose that I should take some time to explain what has happened to my web site. And I have a little bit of time as I wait for my dog to calm down after being outside in the cold for his nightly walk. So here's what's going on: I discovered the concept of "Movable Type," which is blogging software that everybody and their mother uses on this here "Inter-net." So along with using it for what you see here, I applied one of the nicer visual themes (with a few tweaks) to the bulk of my site. I'll convert everything, eventually. Basically, the software is a lot easier to work with than the old stuff I used, it's quite a bit prettier, and I enjoy jumping on bandwagons. So here I am!

I'm trying to figure out a theme for this blog, however, as most people probably don't care to read about the daily (or approximately bi-yearly, in my case) events in the life of a newlywed graduate student. I might like to use it as an academic sounding board, as something to stimulate my mind a little bit while maybe sharing the experience with the few people who stumble upon this site. But who knows if I will actually stick to it on a consistent basis. I think that I need some sort of reinforcement. When you receive 10 comments in almost 3.5 years of blogging, the motivation has a tendency to dwindle. But let's just see what happens.
