Some of you may know that I came very close to joining the Republican Party last year.

Announcing Website 18
I’m pleased to announce the launch of Website 18, the eighteenth version of my personal website. This is almost exclusively a look-and-feel change from the previous version. I had a number of technological/usability improvements planned, but I will be implementing those along with a major CMS upgrade later this year (this will save me the double-effort of implementing new things now, then having to re-implement them for the new CMS version).

Maybe reading this article will help the war critics to strengthen their arguments by not basing them on these fictions.
