insomnia has prompted me to play around with the blog. I think it's more readable now. I've been tinkering around with HTML to get it to look the way I want, but blogger.com and some of the sites I've tried to link to aren't cooperating. so, right now, those pretty buttons on the right are about all the showing off I can do.

also added a guestbook. good idea to have one, J. see link above.

depending on how bored I get (and how annoyed with Blogger), I've earmarked some space for an actual homepage. IF I decide to bother with it, I'll update as it happens.
