  So I thought, "Why not make a blog post?"

  Just noticed I've somehow picked up a second follower. Hi Ann. Not sure how it happened, but I'm not complaining. Now there's two people who will randomly get a notification about a random blog post containing nothing particularly useful or informative.

  Why Douglas Adams is The Best (Part One)
