Relaunch.

First off, this post has taken me about four days to write. Not only am I overloaded with projects right now, but having a newborn son doesn't leave much time left over. That said, let me begin this entry by explaining what I mean by "relaunch". I've realized that over the past few years in which I've had this site, it has mainly been used as an outlet for [what I call] noteworthy items — or items that I found entertaining, humorous, informative or ridiculous. Unfortunately (until recently), these noteworthy entries haven't been very consistent or compelling and usually consisted of a clip or quote from another blog, or a link to a website (or link trolling), along with a short quip of my own added to it — nothing that captures attention, compels readers to comment or even attracted readers to return. I've heard this practice referred to as "me too" mode.

I can honestly say that the experience of seeing your own child take a breath of air for the first time and make the most innocent cry you will ever hear is probably the most amazing thing in the world. I didn't think I would be that sappy father you never want to hear about, but [seriously] it was hard not to shed a tear or two looking into the eyes of your newborn child and seeing the immediate bonding between the child and mother.

A friend of mine send me a link on AIM today. His exact words were "this is one of the best things ever, but it will KILL your productivity" — he was 100% correct; I loved the test, but got nothing done until I finished. Find out just how intelligent you are...
