Ok, so some bright soul keeps trying to spam the comments section of Web Development Part 1 - a quick change to my htaccess file ought to fix his little red wagon.

What a difference twenty-four hours makes! Though it reflects nothing of any importance whatsoever in the physical world, the passing of the date from December 31^st, 2007 to January 1^st, 2008 is of strong cultural importance to Americans. As our perception of the world shapes our outlook, our outlook shapes our perceptions of the world. The change of dates is important simply because we believe it to be.

But whatever our beliefs, 2008 will bring many changes.

Some of us will die, either expectedly at the terminal stage of the human lifecycle, or unexpectedly, struck down by sudden disease or unforeseen accident. Members of both groups of people will be mourned. May we meet again in Heaven, or not at all.

Some of us will be born, either as a consequence of desire and planning, or as the product of accident or muddled thinking. You may not find it to your liking here, but there is nevertheless much to recommend this human life we share. To children born in both camps, I offer you my welcome for your stay here. May you prosper and grow well.

First post! This is the first post on what will hopefully end up being a very interesting adventure…
