This'll be a brief entry today. Mostly it's an explanation of what I'm about to do -- post the past few weeks of offline writing onto my blog but instead of dating them all today, I'll backdate them to when they were written. They'll all appear at once, but in the standard reverse chronological order of a web log. If you want to read them in the order most appropriate, start at May 16th.

As for today itself, it was my first day back to work in two weeks. Surprisingly little had changed. In retrospect, I'm not sure why I expected it to have.
