Since all the cool kids were doing it, I felt like I had to have a blog too... Actually, for the last few months I've been finding myself more and more drawn to reading blogs, and feeling like one'd be a useful way to write about things which don't lend themselves to being (self-promotion follows) book reviews, scientific papers or even notebook entries. A few weeks ago I started writing some entries, and thought about just making them a simple HTML page on my site, but it was too much of a pain to implement all the features I wanted; hence using blogspot, and the sudden rush of entries tonight.
