Old personal web page (further) retired

My old home page is so 1996. Back in those days, web pages were largely static. Accordingly, I guess I felt the need for a single page that described "me". I'd edit it as friends created web pages or I wanted to publish some new source code or pictures. But the page was all presentation and no semantics so changes to it weren't easy to discern.

Recently, I've come to realize that the aspects of myself that change are more numerous and maybe even more important than the aspects that remain constant. It looks like this blogging/RSS thing is here to stay and, while I still find the notion of polling for updates absurd, at least RSS acknowledges that change is important enough to be a first-class citizen of the web. I'm sure that when there are so many RSS producers and consumers out there that the Internet grinds to a standstill, people will migrate to a more scalable system like FeedTree or something.

In the meantime, I'm a-bloggin and I'm so embarrassed of my old home page that I just changed my four-letter domain to redirect here instead of there.
