The following image probably won’t mean much to most of you, but those of you who get it will understand the deep and lasting feeling of pride that it gives me.

Point being: I finally beat Nethack.

My sister and I made this on my dad’s typewriter when we were six and eight years old, respectively. I love this, if only because I enjoy the thought of myself as such a precocious child. Only eight years old, and already playing with the medium!

Hi! As you can tell, there have been some changes around here. I decided I wasn’t really interested in keeping my last six years of posts easily available, so I’ve archived them elsewhere. Considering that the first four years of posts were written by a person who is now unrecognizable to me, and the last two were practically bare of content, I think this is for the best. In the event that you have a burning need to reread my freshman year essay about how seeing worms on the sidewalk after a rainstorm makes me sad, let me know and I’ll tell you where to find it.

In the meantime, I’ve installed WordPress on the site, a move which I had been putting off for awhile, even though I knew I would never post again if it meant logging in to Blogger. Now that it’s done, I intend to use this space in a bit more of a free-wheeling fashion than I had previously. When I started blogging, way back in January 2001, blogging was a new medium, and I was excited to be this new thing called a “blogger.” A few years later, professional and semi-professional blogging arose, and I lost interest, knowing it wasn’t my bag. Now blogging has become so ubiquitous that having a blog doesn’t require much — a blog is a space one has. So here’s mine. Don’t expect a regular format, or regular much of anything — this is just a Place To Keep My Stuff, so enjoy my stuff.
