Bye-Bye Blogger

Sadly, I've never become attached to this blog. At least this blog at this location with this layout and, well, everything about it.

I'll even go out on a limb and say that having a more "fun" design might get me to update more. But maybe not since I've finally succumbed to the Twitter revolution.
