Brief Hiccup

You may have noticed that monday's post was held. I was deciding whether or not to continue the blog since 6things.blogspot.com was pointed out to me. It far predates this blog and has a similar (the same) format, but I'm thinking I'll keep this around since the idea is to be more community submission based. I will also keep the twitter stream and add a little more color to the site
