Added Twitter
I added Twitter to the blog. It’s a nice toy, and I want to see if it’s actually useful. For brief reports on my status, it seems like a nice thing, and I am having fun using the cellphone to update it.

Long time no write
I am cooking a lot of stuff in the pot. Soon I will post about all of them, one after another, but I prefer to post about new things when they are ready and officially out. So, stay tuned, because there’s really a lot of good stuff.

Updated bookshelf and about me pages
I just updated the About Me and Bookshelf pages. A photo of myself is missing, but I’m planning to add it as soon as possible.
The bookshelf now contains a link to my Amazon wishlist. I expect to buy and study other books as soon as I deplete the current queue.
