yes, well

What's there to say, except whatever there is (and will be) to say? I moved the site from Movable Type to Drupal partially because I found the most recent MT upgrade rather annoying, partially because I'm having a late-life conversion to the church of open source, and partially because I'm working on a Drupal site in real life. (Nothing like having your own private playground.)

Actually, I guess there is to say that it's been a crap year, that I'm glad to see it end, that I'm eager to begin anew. I feel a bit like one of those people who needs to reminded to breathe. I think it's fair to say I've been holding my breath all of 2007. I inhaled a bit June-through-August, but clenched down from then to now. I've been thinking about deleting all the empty, dead code here and elsewhere for months, but what to do with the words the code supported or allowed? It turned out to be a non (or perhaps "false") issue. The words can just persist, mothballed and eternal, frozen heads waiting for reanimation by future generations of search engines. I really needed the new code (new tools for new days and all that), and when I killed the old pile I really did exhale a giant, grateful noise. It really is like magic this internet shit: something for nothing, or, at least, something for signs.

That's all for now. More as it becomes coded, available, needed, et cetera.

I NOW SUPPORT BARACK OBAMA!!!

I was an Edwards supporter but....

DID ANYONE SEE THE GLORIA STEINEM PIECE IN THE NEW YORK TIMES!!!! ALL THINKING BLACK FOLK SHOULD BE ENRAGED!!!

I NOW SUPPORT BARACK OBAMA!!!

I could write 25 Blog posts to discuss the phenomenon of yesterday’s New Hampshire Primary. I could also write another 5 Blog Posts on why I now support Barack Obama. But I will give only two reasons for now: I WILL DEFEND ANY BLACK MAN WHO MEANS WELL FOR HIS PEOPLE FROM THE PERNICIOUS HYPOCRISY OF WHITE LIBERAL RACISM!! ALSO, I WILL FIGHT WITH TRUE GRIT TO ERASE THE NOTION IN THE MINDS OF BLACK AMERICA THAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS THEIR BEST INTERESTS AT HEART!

COME READ MORE AND GET A PLEASANT SUPRISE.
