ResolutionsJan 4, 2005

I make resolutions every year but usually forget them, so this time I'm publishing them. I want to explore subjects I love but don't need for work, like comic books, architecture, and computing history. I also want to write more, targeting one blog post per day across my five blogs.

Random thoughts: the Church of England being non-bigoted about sexuality deserves grudging credit; Lemon Jelly's Pushy is worth downloading; cops can't say "what can I do you for?"; and I keep failing at my one-day streak of self-improvement.

Exams are here, so I'm shutting down the blog for real this time. No more updates until they're over. Hopefully I'll be back with good news.
