I haven’t really felt like updating lately, although I have been saving some good stories to put in this space. Considering how little I’ve had to do these last few weeks, I’m not sure what the cause of my malaise is. So, today I’m going to try to put up a few updates from the [...]

My me.com account is working. If you don’t have any other addresses for me, the one below is as valid as any. They all end up in the same place eventually, anyway. In other news, I spent a good portion of this weekend updating my blog’s layout. It’s quite a bit simpler and cleaner now [...]

So this whole updating the blog thing isn’t working out so well over the summer. Unfortunately, you would think a course title like Intensive Summer Greek that counts for two semesters of credit in a 10 week offering and with a course description that starts “Designed for highly motivated students…” that I would have recognized [...]

Today I’m more or less laid up in bed. This means I ought to be able to get some further work done on part II of my Immigration series. If you want to know what happened, take a gander at the flickr badge in the right pane. There are pictures there of my now awesomely [...]

If you can’t tell by my weather widget in the sidebar, it’s an insanely nice day in Austin right now. My roommate and I tried a new restaurant/bar, Shoal Creek Saloon. The shrimp and crawfish were very good, as were the cheese fries. I can see going back. I’ve been looking for stories to post [...]

Okay, which of you yahoos loves me so much that he has to go and add me to favorites 65 different times?

So I’m back again. Although it isn’t set up currently, shortly demosthenes.us should point directly to this page. I decided that I would be happier on WordPress and happier with a domain that was mine, that wasn’t an assumed personality. There wasn’t really a point to doing so. And thus, here we are. So welcome [...]

Well, I’m back; at least for a little while. I haven’t had as much time as I would have liked this Spring Break to catch up on the news and write some new posts. Moving on top of catch-up at work has really been a bitch and a half. Oh well. There should be some [...]

I feel bad that I haven’t sent anything to you guys in a while. This weekend I am moving to a new place closer in to town and closer to school. I’ve had zero time to read the news, much less form some cogent opinions to throw up in this space. Sorry. Updates to hopefully [...]

I decided to stop using double-quotes within my blockquotes. I figure it’s probably redundant. Don’t sue me. I think the blockquote sufficiently indicates already that it’s not my writing. If you can think of a good reason why this is not the case, feel free to drop me a line. Thanks

So I happened to look at the site from a Windows XP PC running the latest version of Firefox, and I just want to apologize to everyone for the really atrocious background color that apparently comes up. On my PowerBook, in several different browser apps, the page has a nice mellow deep banana yellow; on [...]

More for me than for you, but if you’re curious, here are some stats for the site for my first full month of demosthenes us. This next one is pretty amusing. Even though I run a Mac, for almost the entire month of January I was using Camino. That means most of the other Safari [...]

Sorry that output has been a little low the last two days. I’ve been a little busy getting ready for school, preparing for a move, and getting braces. No, you can’t see. I’ve been told I still qualify as a cyborg, but I’ve yet to see any of the benefits. I’m working on a post [...]

Well, my first real week of blogging is over, and I think it went really well. I made over 50 entries, including one very substantial one. There are a few snafus yet. Technorati doesn’t seem to be correctly receiving pings from my blog, either from entries entered through MT or through MarsEdit. I’ll have to [...]

I’m not exactly a seasoned blogger yet (although I have used LiveJournal for several years). However, I think I generally lucked out with the tools that I use when writing this blog. For those of you who might be interested in starting your own blog, the following might be of help: For hosting, I cannot [...]

Huh. Blogging is kind of cathartic.

Just a quick note that if the page seems to change a lot, please understand that I’m new to Movable Type, so I’m playing around with a lot of different options for the first time. I’ll try to keep everything readable. Also, in regards to the first post, I’ve created an abuse e-mail account on [...]

I’d like to welcome everyone to my new home. I’m not exactly certain what this page will evolve into, but essentially I wanted a location in which I could post longer form work of a more serious nature. I imagine a good bit of it will current events issues that strike me as requiring comment. [...]
