New Stuff
Those of you who hate change, brace yourselves. In addition to the new template, I’ve got news.

Out of Office
Hey, it’s another post where all I do is explain why I’m not really posting!

Shapelings, we need to talk. I just updated the comments policy with the following: Eighth rule: If you’re having trouble processing the seventh rule, just know that sassing the mods is a very bad idea.

Some Stuff
So, three of us have colds, one of us is out of town and indisposed, and the other one hates you all. (Kidding. Mostly.) Until we’re back into blogging shape, have some links.
