Two thoughts for your morning reading.
First, Twitter.
You see that widget to the right, right? Twitter feed. Microblog. Mere 140 characters. That's what's
supplanted many of the familiar blog postings over the last couple of years.
Is that the future of this blog? Will postings here become even less frequent,
and even disappear in favor of all-Twitter? Probably not. Still need a platform
for larger and longer content.
But keep an eye on that widget, as anything and everything is game for posting.

Second thought.
Mobile responsiveness. This blog is based on an older technology that's not
mobile responsive. Meaning, it doesn't present a smaller or slimmer version when
viewed on a tablet or phone.
Don't believe that any modifications are possible. Rather, an all-new blog
platform is probably required. Been pondering restarting the blog, and for some
years now. Fresh start, and maybe with better technology for managing comments.
Please remain calm if this blog stops some day (e.g., no new postings and
maybe even no new comments), and a second one starts elsewhere.
That is all.
