Newsflash! After years of postponing the inevitable I've decided that a real blog is a better place to toss random thoughts. I managed to snag the name RandomAscii on spaces.live.com, and I expect that I'll post somewhat more frequently than my current miserly once every year or so. And, if you find errors or want to poke fun at my silly obsessions, commenting will finally be possible. You can find me at randomascii.spaces.live.com/default.aspx
