Some of you (like Tommy) have noticed that this shiny new blog is spitting out bogus permalinks and trackbacks. It’s true, the launch has not gone smoothly. These are the main things I’ll be occupying my time with this weekend; several other tweaks will be applied as well. Hopefully I’ll have it all fixed by the beginning of next week.

Back in 1990, some friends at school dragged me out there for a rare off-campus clubbing opp. I was new to the area, and the drive seemed horrendously long from south St. Pete; for a long while after, I was convinced we had driven most of the way to Orlando…
