Blogging Is Hard

I've left this blog unattended, in part because I've been woefully neglectful, and in part because I realize now that academic blogging is hard.

Ideas nascent don't necessarily want to be revealed, their soft underbellies exposed to glaring burning public view. Even though no one has ever set an eye on this blog (with the exception of the web crawlers who have visited to leave obscene calling cards), it is still in its own way public, and that seems to send shivers down my spine.

I will try, in the new year, to write more, to record more, to at least keep a record of where I'm going, of what I've done, and to begin to let some nascent thoughts out to play. And if anyone reads this (anyone human, without a hidden sex-poker-or-loan-selling agenda), I trust that you'll take all in the spirit in which it's intended.
