I feel asleep at the switch and never even noticed that this blog hit the five-year mark two weeks ago. Celebrate we must, even if belatedly.

Change is painful, but so is stasis.
What a year. Where have I been? Work’s kept me busy. But that’s not much of an excuse. Twitter’s soaked up a lot of my thoughts (You can find me here). But I also kept putting off a lot of content until I could upgrade the backend and the design of this blog. It was [...]

In looking at my site stats, I see that a number of you have accessed this old essay about very loud automobile sound systems. The rest of you may enjoy it as well.
The warmth of the sun.
I fully intended to post this week, while on vacation. I am clearly delusional. I am posting this quick note (via my BlackBerry) to let you know I will be back next week. Enjoy yourselves.
