to nobody in particular:
...i question whether anybody will actually read this, and, again, that won't be a problem with me if it goes unread -- not a big deal. if it is read by one person, that is great. two, greater. three, unexpected. that's the wonder of treating a blog as a personal journal -- it's personal to a point, and yet public to a point...
...after a full year of blogging and recording learning points on a daily basis, i took a small break. that small break ends tonight. my last blog was august 11th. when deciding when to write again, i thought: perhaps a september 11th post, equaling a one month break, would be appropriate? perhaps writing after my parents visit would be a meaningful time to restart? perhaps, now that's it's november, i could write a Thanksgiving post? maybe it would be good, rather than working around an "appropriate" time to restart the blog, i could just avoid that and do it at a random time with no significance? hey, Christmas is right around the corner -- perhaps a Christmas post would work? and now, here i am, on the last night of the year, writing -- finally...
...and it turns out, the timing is significant, yet the writing will be rather insignificant -- except in the fact that i am restarting my blog, 86 the learning points...
...it's nice to be writing out my thoughts in an informal and fun manner again -- hopefully it lasts and continues strongly in 2010...
...with that said, i am done here...

currently watching: "LOST"
my wife gifted me with "LOST" on dvd for Christmas, so we are starting to watch the series again from the beginning -- and it is still spectacular...
