Googlified

Gentle readers: it has been far too long since I've synchronized my on- and offline (aka real-life) happenings. Without further ado, the skinny-

In May, after five short years of decadent cavorting about amidst the mathematical glitterati of Courant, I succumbed to the persuasions of greater responsibility and frickin' graduated. Armed with a PhD in math and a strong desire to avoid a career in food services, the most natural course of action was clearly to join the ranks of Google, my favorite local search engine brobdingnagian.

Hence the choice to switch from my old home-brewed blogging hackworks previously used to ye olde blogger.com-based automatia (one reason this makes sense is that blogger is owned by my new employer). Do I feel the slight tinge of selloution upon forsaking the independent-spirit of my old blog system for the cliched cookie-cutter world of mass-marketed stylesheets? Perhaps a bit -- but let's face it, this pre-fab design looks a heckuva lot better than my old stuff. And now I can finally tell my feed-hungry friend Erin I've got your RSS right here.

Plus I've got some ideas for personalization... (to be continued).
