a new day, a new blog

I'm on a web kick today. I impulsively acquired two (more) domain names, have finally begun cobbling together some basic form of personal website (not that I haven't had several in the past - anyone remember qnerd.com or interlog.com/~erinart?). Then I decided that, after nearly four years of anonymized web journaling elsewhere, I wanted a public blog with my actual name associated with it. I've been surfing the weeb for eleven years (and helping to keep small portions of it running behind the scenes from 1997 to 2004), I think it's safe now, or at least worth the small risk.
