Consider this the official relaunch of my blog, and in a half-hearted way my re-engagement with politics.  That may seem like a fairly empty gesture… but that’s largely because it is.  I haven’t stopped having opinions in the last two years (or even stopped sharing them in a condescending fashion), but I have stopped publishing them…  and that is an oversight I intend to correct.  I will be looking to connect with similar like-minded bloggers and affiliates, but most importantly I am hoping to do what I was never fully able to do with my last site, and that’s to engage generally with the internet population at large, not just the ham-fisted internet troglodytes that blogs attract.
