Hi there you! Yes, you. Welcome! Thanks for finding this page. Hopefully you’re here on purpose — unless you got ambushed by my clever use of metatags. I haven’t blogged in months, so this is a note to say hi. If you’re interested in my occasional ramblings, I now micro-ramble on Twitter (@RaybonKan) so you’ll [...]

I don’t want to listen to Tiger Woods’ phone messages. The media in 2009 is an outrage. Did Henry VIII have to deal with this kind of invasion? Caesar? Elvis?
