last meaningless post...

just seeing if anyone checks this blog anymore?...things have been busy. potential blog posts have been skipped or forgotten. over the years i've had my share of bland posts here. perceived obligation has prompted weak content, even by my sub par standards. that changes now. you may have noticed in recent months that i've changed the criteria for blog posts from semi-meaningless and meaningless, to semi-meaningful and meaningful (see above - no, not really). of course the downside is, (or upside, depending on the point of view) less posts. as such, look for only the bigger, more relevant stories here. i have relegated my twitter account to be my new forum for stray, and random thoughts that still need expression.
