I’ve decided to start doing more posts around here, but make them less “com­plete.” Or less wordy. With any luck, this should be a win-win… I’ll do more updates, but they’ll be a lot shorter. More pith, because I actu­ally like to be pithy — or at least make the attempt. 50% more pith, even.[1. Hence the slo­gan; the fine print reads, “Avoid eye con­tact. Reg­u­lar read­ing of the mate­r­ial on this blog may cause exces­sive snark­i­ness and occa­sional pith. If swal­lowed, con­sult a physi­cian imme­di­ately.” click the image for a closer look.] More pith, but with­out los­ing any snark­i­ness. This means that when I write arti­cles that are more “feature-length” as many of my past posts have been, I’ll set them apart as arti­cles or fea­tured con­tent rather than stan­dard blog updates.
