I’ve been on vacation lately, so I haven’t had time to sit down and
post on the blog. Partly, this was due to the fact that I was without
Internet and cell (!) access for a week, while Shawna and I were up in
Michigan. A note on that, if I may: we did have some cell service in
Michigan,
but it wasn’t reliable throughout the whole house. Either way, let me
tell you that the iPhone is not a wholly satisfying Internet
replacement. The small keyboard, lack of
del.icio.us access, and no copy/paste make it
really difficult to get any serious Interneting done. That ended up
with me coming home to 800 unread items in Google Reader. Clearly, I
can never leave the presence of the Internet again.

Additionally, I’ve been working on the design of the blog, as you can
see. The new theme takes advantage of a lot more technology and makes
posting to the blog even easier. Also, I’ve started using
disqus to manage the comments. I’m not sure I
like the service, as it sets a really high bar to posting a comment
(creating an account, etc.). So, we’ll see. I like the idea of
trying out Blogging 2.0, but
this whole concept seems silly. As another side note, I want to write
a post called “Book 2.0” with the body: “they got it right the first
time”.

Anyway, I need to get back to my comps reading (I was saddened by how
much math is in Tipler’s The Physics of Immortality and how badly
presented said math is).
