These are the things I have been working on recently:
For a while now I have thought that certain mythical creatures possess similarities to actual people. To the end, then, of better understanding ourselves and the people around us, I think it wise to compile a list of creatures, and the kind of people they actually are. For great justice.

I am most excited about writing the entry for Leprechaun, which is what I believe myself to be. Kind of.
It seems every year that I fixate on a new reason to re-design my web-presence, whether it be technological, existential, or...lady-al.

The break-through I had at the end of 2009 was thinking about the way in which I work on projects, and this methods appropriateness for a blog. I find that I am often in progress on numerous projects, randomly updating one, or putting another on hold. What I thought would be best would be to have a blog like structure, that, instead of always posting the most recent posts, instead prioritized the most recently altered posts. So that I could start something quickly, without worrying about it being done, and then update it later to have it pop to the top. This idea of a persistent, update-rather-than-post based model was what drove me to abandon WordPress and instead brew my own PHP and mysql CMS.
All of the above combined with my desire to move my site over to the shorter 00pd. I have come to realize how valuable the short address is, and have had enough of the joke that has been whereikeepmythingsontheinternet.com. As charming as that might be...
