Howdy

It probably does a person some good to just sit down and write once in a while. Unfortunately, studying Electrical Engineering doesn't leave a person with much to chat about. Kirchoff may have been a genius, but I doubt he was the life of the party, even in the 1850's. "Why, dear Kirchoff, you must tell me sometime about how you can present your laws as a new development - it seems to me they're nothing more than simple rephrasing of the well known principle of Conservation of Energy!".

As we can see, Kirchoff's great aunt is no better.

Perhaps I should pretend that I have a readership - invent a hypothetical target audience. Then I'd be able to post links to things you'd like and stir up controversy by posting before checking my sources.

Truth is, though, there wouldn't be much point. It wouldn't be long before somebody noticed that I got all my news on religious idiocy from Pharyngula, that my ramblings on skepticism and medical ignorance all looked a great deal like those from Respectful Insolence, and that you'd seen all the cool tech news on Hack a Day - two days ago.

Nonetheless, I intend to resume writing here more often - hopefully next year I'll manage more than two posts. If you're really lucky, some of them might even have content in them.
