Items of maintenance

In effort to take the blog more "mid-calorie," the archives are now monthly instead of weekly. If you've linked in the past, your links won't die; the old weekly archives are staying on the server.

Related, the list of links to friends' blogs welcomes a new member, Beverly Cheng (a fabulous Northwestern '02 graduate), who a while back commented here and included her link, which I completely missed. She's been writing it for a year and a half! I've clearly got to get my ear closer to the ground. Among recent posts, her "Are you ever horny?" entry (1/12/04) is gold. It's like CSN&Y getting punk'd.

Related, Beverly is soon to marry another fabulous Northwestern '02 grad, Johnny O'Neal. And, as I draw my ear closer and closer to the ground, I find on Bev's site that Johnny's got a blog too. Google tells me his theme song (hinted at here) isn't anywhere on the Internet. As a fan of the theme song, I eagerly await its appearance in his blog.

Does anyone else out there (that I know) have blogs I don't know about? Maybe my eye missed your link too? Let me know. Together, we'll rectify.

Related, up Canada way, the already linked Deanna has herself a new address and terrifically minimalist new design. I've only met her briefly, but she's fabulous as well. As someone who still harbors dreams of being a puppeteer, a puppet with a tie makes my day.

Related, thanks to everyone who's commented so far this year: Ellen, Shalini, Casey, Jess, Jamie, Tom, Emily, Lindsay, Cleo, Amit, Nate, Elisa, Stevie, and Bev. I hope to give that part of the site some TLC in the next year. And I'll get the Beatles rock mix together one of these days.

Thoughts?
