Allow me to introduce myself

I've had a weblog since 2000. In the intervening six years I have heroically compiled a whopping 34 posts. I blame my lack of productivity on many things, but I think chief among them is that I am an incorrigible fiddler.

Rather than writing, I waste vast swaths of time fiddling with the technology behind my weblog: mucking about with the design, incorporating the latest related craze, rearranging, organizing, categorizing, synching. It's all valuable and fun, but it's really just procrastination. If I'm going to have a weblog, I really ought to be writing after all.

Recently I decided: to hell with it. Maybe I can prevent myself from procrastinating by removing the temptation to fiddle. So, I decided to check out the various hosted services. Just about this time, the Vox beta was announced and I became intrigued. It's functional, it looks nice, I think the privacy settings could be quite useful, and, I can't fiddle with it. It is what it is.

So begins my experiment. Probably this will be my last post.
