(It doesn't hurt to think ahead!)

I hope you're having a jolly Xmas day. I sure am! I also figured I'd get a head start on something I've put off for too long, and new self-bio (some call it an autobio, but heck, it didn't write itself!). The old, wordier one can still be found here.

One nicetie you'll notice as you roam through my blog: the "Who am I?" image rotates randomly through a series, mostly from different stages of my Second Life — that's Sept. 2004-present, for those of you keeping track. Nearing the year's end, I felt this was a particularly effective way to be nostalgic and productive at the same time. I'm using a subset of this selection.

I was able to do this thanx to the WordPress AdRotator plugin, which is Widgetized and can be used straightforwardly like the default Text Widget, but with a twist: split snippets with the <!–more–> tag and a random chunk will be loaded upon each page refresh. It's not just for ads — the content's up to you! (I may wanna put in some poetry, or quotes.)
