Obligatory metapost

What makes a man so swelled with pride as to get himself a blog? What possesses me to think that my thoughts and way of expressing them are worthy of being published?

I conceive that one strangely encouraging thing about this place is a strange combination of exposure and privacy. Yes, I know that in potentia everyone can come and see my ruminations. And yet, behold the wonderful emptiness of the place! So far, according to the web counter, I am the only reader. Even my wife does not have time to go check it out. This gives me a perfect illusion of privacy - like yelling in a market place at three in the morning. The people are there, but nobody hears you. Perversely exciting feeling.
