Seems that one way to get ahead in academia and professional life is to have a blog.  I haven’t really received that much advice, other than “have a blog”.  Trolling other people’s work for some time I have been fascinated and bored, usually at the same time, except for those rare “life” blogs where the author blends policy, thoughts, and personal life to get a whole picture of why the words are on the page in the order they are.  My hope for this blog is that I master that blend and create a readable and enjoyable blog.  Comments always welcome!
