... so ...

Hi.

I've been kind of busy.

And, well, I sort of forgot about this blog. And for that I apologize.

In all likelihood, this blog would have remained forgotten and fallen into the abyss of unused and unmaintained websites. But then, in the week that I declared myself to be less busy than I'd been in over a year, I got three separate hints that I should start blogging. (And I didn't even know that three people read this site.) So before the guilt from those hints wears off, I thought I should at least post something to get the ball rolling again.

So, to begin, what have I been doing? Well I'll give the mega-short version. There are three major things that I would have been reporting if I'd remained an active blogger (which, based on my archives, halted some time in May 2007):

1) I got married.
2) My wife and I bought a house.
3) I wrote and defended my thesis.

It's kind of funny to think that of those three, the largest time investment (so far) has been number 3, my thesis. Perhaps not surprisingly, it also feels the most anti-climactic now that it's been achieved.

So anyway, I'm going to try to make another run at this whole blogging thing. Hopefully I'll have time to post more often about more interesting things. If only I'd kept a that-would-make-a-good-blog-post notebook in my pocket during the last year, then I'd be off to the races.
