While typing up some text for this blog a few days ago, I ran into a naming dilemma. What, I thought, should I call the tidbits I occasionally fling up into this website. The three terms which struck me as the most obvious were “post,” “entry,” and “article.” Now this is a rather trivial problem, but it caused me to think about the subtle connotative differences between the terms. “Post,” the most commonly used term, implies a degree of brevity. Even the least substantive of weblog updates could constitute a “post” (tumblr anyone?). Of course, there’s nothing wrong with extreme brevity, it’s just not the style I tend to use.

As you can see (or can’t if you’ve never been here before) the site has been freshly redesigned. It all started a few months ago when I became too tired of the rough spots on the old design. They rubbed up against me every time I looked at it, eventually driving me to double-click my Inkscape shortcut and begin fiddling with new colors and layouts.
