So, trying to write my first entry, and I get immediately hit by writer's block. This blog is an attempt to record (mainly for myself) my current interests. Most blogs seem to be tightly focused on one thing (i.e. politics, technology, etc.) This one is aimed more broadly, and is therefore of less interest to outside viewers. A list of topics that will crop up:

• Programming, mainly Java and Perl and associated technology


• Politics, mainly American: it is like looking at a (very slow) trainwreck as it happens


• Science Fiction


• Go or WeiQi or Baduk
