I’ve restored a bunch of posts on the topic of voting, including my review of Electing Not to Vote. I suppose at some point I ought to write up a retrospective on this issue. After reading through everything I wrote on this topic in 2008, I noticed that my views have changed a bit.

History lesson
Monday, January 11th, 2010I spent a bit of time looking through the archive.org Wayback machine at my past web presence. My first experience running a website came in 1999. As far as I can tell, my first blogging was back in 2002, just as I was finishing High School. Of course it was not called “blogging” back then.
Probably the most interesting stuff to read is around my first year in college. That was a formative time when I was first exposed to Greek and a lot of new concepts. I can tell by what I wrote that the wheels were turning fairly quickly in those days. Yet those posts were for their own time.
I’ve jettisoned the vast majority of content which I have posted online. Some of it has been silly, some foolish, some of low quality, and some about which I have changed my mind. I suppose that frequently winnowing my blog posts is a good exercise in not taking myself too seriously. I wonder I’ll have kept around in another 11 years.

The truth about content management systems
Monday, January 11th, 2010Drupal is an excellent CMS, but nothing can beat Wordpress for blogging. So I’ve decided to move back the familiar old friend Wordpress for my blog. Any substantive content will still be posted on the Compositions section of my site. The blog will be reserved for questions, comments, concerns, gestures, and other ephemera.
