I wanted to drop a note and let everyone (all three of you) know that I'm quitting this personal weblog in order to simplify things a bit and to focus on some of my other projects. This blog will remain open indefinitely, but I have no more plans...

In my last post, I described my scheme for getting stuff done over the summer by blocking out times to work on particular projects and other work. Overall, the scheme worked well - I was quite productive - but it needed a few tweaks. Going forward...

I wrapped up the spring quarter late last week and I've been thinking about ways to be productive over the summer. I'm probably already overbooked in terms of projects, and I want to be sure that both my personal, professional, and academic goals ...

Blogging activity is inversely proportional to busy-ness

2008-04-21T11:47:39Z

Some random notes: 1. Ultimate X-Men is probably going to be my "best new comic discovery" of 2008. (X-Factor was 2007's winner.) 2. I have made YAWSFMP (yet another web site for my projects). You can see it here. Yes, there are privacy issues...

Providence trip: Day one

2008-03-25T12:15:35Z

Earlier this year, I decided that as a reward for finishing the winter quarter of school, I'd reward myself with a Spring Break trip to Providence, Rhode Island in order to continue work on my Lovecraft copyright project. Unfortunately, not all in...
