So, it's been almost a month since my last post here. I didn't mean to go directly into radio silence, but I'm almost ready to deliver on that first article I'd promised. I think I may have overdone it a bit, since I was shooting for 2500 words and have landed somewhere around 7000 words. For the first time ever, I've been going over a first draft hardcopy of something destined for my blog with a pen, and am asking my girlfriend to help me out with some proofreading and editing. Once we've gotten this thing in some semblance of presentability, I'll let you all decide whether its worth the verbosity.
