Welcoming myself

I've been wanting to start a blog for a while now, on and off. Off when I first read Ivan Tribble's "Bloggers need not apply" article in the Chronicle of Higher Education (the last thing I need is to put any more obstacles in the way of me or Geekman getting an academic job). On again when I read the responses to Tribble's article in the academic blogosphere. Off again every time I considered how much of my spare time a blog had the potential to eat. But then today I thought, what the hell. I want to blog. So a-blogging I shall go.

Greetings to me.
