i started this blog in 2001 as an exercise in consistency that would allow me to improve my writing. now, fifteen years worth of daily posts later, i've decided to make this blog private so that i can write freely without being pressured to be interesting or compromising the privacy of myself and others. my photoblog will continue without interruption.

if there's anyone out that that still checks this blog, thank you so much for your readership. i'll probably still be posting bits here and there on Facebook or something.

so long and thanks for all the fish!
