So the activity on this blog is about to slow down dramatically (as if it hadn’t already with the recent holiday-related silence). The reason: I recently was hired for a full-time+ gig as the webmaster for the Committee to Regulate and Control Marijuana, here in Las Vegas, Nevada. The CRCM is working toward passing an inititiative on the ballot this upcoming November – you can read about it here. This is my first time working on a political campaign, and I expect it to keep me very busy for the next eleven months.

I still plan to post to the blog, but expect to see fewer “asides” – those brief posts that usually consist of a link and a pithy comment. If you really enjoy those, I suggest becoming a regular of kottke.org. I know many of you have enjoyed this site as a place to converse with the wide net of people I’m connected to, so if there’s enough interest, I’d consider giving accounts to some people who would be interested in keeping this space going (e.g., doorframe, jonmay, etc.).

Lastly, when I was at midnight mass on Christmas, the priest had something like this to say during his homily: “For those of you who think Christians differentiate among people, that they don’t view everyone equally – blow me .” At least that’s what I heard, along with my brothers and several cousins. My sister claims that he said “baloney,” but I only think that he meant to say “baloney” and confused the “m” for the “n,” saying something like “balomey.” It was funny.
