Sometimes people ask me why I blog. I try to explain that I have no reason and people get upset. So now I say that I need to exercise my fingers on something other than my real work.

Now I have to finish my dissertation. I have to make all this stop. Or pretend that it has stopped. Or something. I have to turn this process into a product. And I’m stalling because I don’t want it to end. I want this post to be a part of it. But where can I go from there?
