1) If you have a link to my blog, you should change the link to http://www.geocities.com/tinmanblog/index.htm. On Geocities pages, the default is supposed to be “index.htm” — for instance, “tinmanblog/index.htm” is supposed to be identical to “tinmanblog/”. Unfortunately, it doesn’t always seem to work that way. So it’s just better if you add “/index.htm”. Trust me on this, OK?

2) Ever since I began blogging, I’ve been getting even less work done than I used to. My routine used to be: come into work, read the New York Times on the Web really quickly (it winds up taking over an hour), then Salon.com, then maybe The New Republic, then do some work. Now, in addition to all of that, I’m reading various blogs and adding to my own blog. Despite all this, I’m apparently still getting all my work done and being praised for its quality. I’m not quite sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
