You may have noticed that some time has elapsed between the Official Launch of this blog and now. (Or, maybe you haven't noticed because I have managed to delete my post dates by accident.) [dates restored, long live pope gregory]

My excuse is that I've been working hard at the office (bagel shop/coffee shop), grinding my way through a beginner's html book so that I can actually change what my website looks like. Go figure. If you want to see what I've come up with so far, just look around the page -- take in all that white space and Helvetica that I'm using as a substitute for decent, original design.

Now that I've finished my html book and taken out the brain-scarringly mediocre default Movable Type template, I'm ready to put actual entries up again. The site design will keep changing as I tinker and fix things, but I'm at a point now where I do not feel a sense of aesthetic dread when I imagine what this entry will look like on the real internet.

So, keep reading (please), and enjoy the white space while you can. (Next version: red on black with repeating skull GIFs in the background)

Also, if you're into RSS feeds, you can get mine here until I manage to stick an RSS subscribe button somewhere up there.

maybe I should just write "0 comments" at the bottom of each entry and save my server the trouble [thanks, katie]
