Which reminds me… I’m having a little bit of an issue with the contest links. I decided to allow each entrant to list their personal website if they had one, and it would automatically show up on the list of participants. A couple people have interpreted “personal website” rather creatively though. There are some business sites (which I have left for the time being) and at least one porn site (which is now gone). I don’t want to be prudish or anything, but that’s not really what I intended with the list. I don’t know if the person was making a joke or whether they really wanted to trick people (possibly even kids – this site has no age limits) into seeing something nasty, but I decided to kill it. I let their entry stand since it looked legitimate, but I’m going to be closely checking each new link that gets posted. I just wanted to offer an explanation in case anybody’s wondering why their hyperlink was suddenly removed.
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

I’m going to try and repeat last year’s stunning feat of incorrectly guessing *all* the categories but I think ROTK will win big so maybe next year.
If you come in last again, Jai, I’ll make you a monkey with a wooden spoon. 🙂
