Writing about, uh, certain matters explicitly is against my wishes to keep my more feelingy feelings and this blog separate. So far I&#8217;m doing alright, but the last few posts have been more against that policy than I like. Even this one is a bit out of place. But I shall continue my explaination, so bear with it or just skip to the next paragraph. I mean, the last couple posts (16th and 13th, really) discuss topics that I had hoped to keep my site completely clean of, but I guess it&#8217;s kind of a good idea to have a place to vent. I have trouble talking to people about stuff, and I know keeping everything locked inside to fester as a mental illness is a bad idea. Hell, even this post here is completely shattering my dreams of a &#8220;guy without feelings&#8221; reputation. But I&#8217;ll try to keep the feely stuff to a bare minimum, and if it&#8217;s necessary, I&#8217;ll make sure it&#8217;s uncomprehensible or coated in a finely crafted metaphor.<\/p>\n<p>As for why I&#8217;m posting today, the new Steve article is up. Sadly, they won&#8217;t be coming weekly anymore, but only every three weeks. Seems it&#8217;s too much of a workload for him. I&#8217;d call him a wuss, but I&#8217;m no better for writing stuff.<\/p>\n<p>And now, some links that I&#8217;ve gotten from recent IM conversations!
