			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The more eagle-eyed among you may have noticed that some of my recent blog entries have vanished from this page.  Rest assured that they&#8217;re not gone, only hidden until they can be revised.  As for why: they got me in trouble. One of my superiors, someone I deeply respect and never intended to offend, took offense.</p>
<p>As you can see, my name is clearly attached to whatever I write. I have no plans to blog under a pseudonym. Frankly, most of what I write is only interesting if you know who I am. I don&#8217;t specify exactly where I work, although most people who know me already know that. I also don&#8217;t include coworkers&#8217; names. I do this so that someone searching for a coworker won&#8217;t find what I have to say about them.</p>
<p>I also have no plans to stop blogging, or Twittering, altogether. Life would be too boring. But I do need to learn how to see a post the way others will. One of my coworkers pointed out today that while he could understand what I meant, he also could understand what would be considered offensive.</p>
<p>So my first course of action is clear: I&#8217;m going to revise the articles that led to offense, clearing up their intent. And I hope that&#8217;ll be enough.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After a far-too-long hiatus, I&#8217;ve returned to the blogging world.</p>
<p>Part of the reason I stopped updating was that nothing seemed all that interesting, and I didn&#8217;t want to push my older, more substantive, posts out with a bunch of drivel.  That&#8217;s changed with the advent of Twitter.  Twitter can carry my one-off comments or links, and the blog (what you&#8217;re reading right now) will have longer and more substantial content.</p>
<p>One thing to note: I do intend to repost older entries, with some of the better comments. Apologies if your comment isn&#8217;t included, but I&#8217;m just picking a few of the best.</p>
<p>So, c&#8217;mon back. I&#8217;ll be here.</p>
