A neutron walks into a bar and asks the bartender, "How much for a beer?" The bartender replies, "For you, no charge."   I thought I would start with a joke so you'll forgive me for backing out of another promise. The fact of the matter is, I've had a pretty crazy couple of weeks. Quit a job (and get handed a slew of last-minute projects during my last two weeks there). Help a friend with a web project. Host a crazy, "legendary" potluck. Be more involved in church. Start a new job. I had a good first day at work today, but I am saddened to say that I will have a lot less time for blogging. Either that, or I will have to sacrifice a lot of...

While pouring over the latest issue of my favorite magazine over the weekend, I was shocked to read this obituary to blogging. The first four paragraphs really stung me: Thinking about launching your own blog? Here's some friendly advice: Don't. And if you've already got one, pull the plug.

I know I had been talking about making the transition to Squarespace, but have been putting it off until inspiration hit - I get bored too easily and want a site redesign! I had figured that I would hit two birds with one stone by redesigning the site and making the switch at the same time. However, while high on Midol last Friday, I asked myself why I couldn't make the switch and worry about the redesign later. So I did it. I moved all my old posts to Squarespace this past weekend.
