I'm surprised again at how bad parts of #<span class="tag"><a href="http://identi.ca/tag/facebook" rel="tag">facebook</a></span> are. Profile config is scattered everywhere and &quot;Notes&quot; pulls in just one RSS feed. Srsly.

Okay, Internet, I've had it with you. Stop using blogging services and start hosting your writing on web space owned and controlled by you.

Boy, the Google results for my name totally suck. There's close to nothing that's younger than three and a half years on there. Way to go.
