I just started a blog. It has proven to be both more work and more technically difficult than I expected. The slope of the learning curve is tolerable, but the altitude yet to climb is discouraging.

Still, I intend to persevere with my original plan of producing one posting per day (excluding planned vacations). But I have had to shift my focus from delivering content to mastering presentation. I'll probably be spending the next few months just mastering the tools. But eventually, I intend to spend several years posting a ~200,000 word tome tentatively entitled "Mathematical Models of Mind", which will cover formal logic, theory of language, ontology, Bayesian epistemology, decision theory, game theory, information theory, computation, AI, multi-agent systems, and ethics. Plus book reviews, recipes, found art, general curmudgeonship and other bloggish content.

Oh, and before I can write about all those things, I probably ought to learn them. So I expect my next few years to be rather busy.
