Thing 1: Just to reiterate, how I came to be doing what I'm doing may be found here, followed by this over here.
Thing 2: My old personal blog, Diztopia, can still be found here, though many of the links have long since rotted, images look funky, and sometimes the whole design seems to disappear. Highly embarrassing and sophomoric in retrospect. How little things have changed, really.
Thing 3: Now that I'm on IM or email pretty much constantly all day long, one thing I cannot stand is the word "um." It is a universal throat-clearing signifier of upcoming self-righteous dickery. Just get right to the complaint, please. Because, um, I don't need this bit of conversational stage business any more than I need smileys.
That is all things for the moment. Though I'm sure other things are about to get moderately interesting. Any minute now.
