A new year & a new goal for this blog

Well,  this blogs updates have been far from reliable.  I’ve been busy (in the time since my last post here I’ve finished my Ph.D and moved on to a postdoc at Carnegie Mellon University), but that’s no excuse!  This year, my new year’s resolution (one of them, anyway) is to update this blog regularly.  I’m already off to a shaky start writing this at 11:45 on Sunday night, having put it off because of a looming paper deadline.  Anyway, I’ll keep this post short but sweet.  My goal is to update this blog at least once per week.  With that type of volume, I don’t expect that every post will be awe-inspiring, but I’d like to make regular updating a habit.  I already have a few topics I want to cover and hopefully someone beside myself will find them interesting.  So, come back next week if you want to see the first real (and hopefully regular) post for 2013.  Happy new year!
