Changes to the site
You might notice that there are some modifications to the site today. I have started a set of pages on controversies and added an e-mail subscription link, which appears to work quite well.

And welcome to my new home…
You may think this indicates a lack of seriousness, but I’m moving this blog over to WordPress, The new Domain will take advantage of the sophisticated tools on that platform (and I preferred the page designs.) So now I’m supposed to be dealing with a blog for each of my classes at work (well, that’s not hard), as well as the following: Picnic Pages (beware that Apple is in the middle of a major upgrade as I write and so the service on .mac is terminally slow as we wait for Me.com)
…“I know quite certainly that I myself have no special talent; curiosity, obsession and dogged endurance, combined with self-criticism, have brought me to my ideas.”
