Another Blog

Wednesday, October 26th, 2005

Hey, I finally got a “Wordpress.com” blog. It is http://arandomact.wordpress.com. Nothing exciting going on there. I think I’m just going to put observations about wordpress there.

Dead Blog?

Tuesday, July 12th, 2005

Apparently I am being chastised over in the comments of Avoiding Responsibility. There are claims that my blog is dead. Would you agree?
