Today is the second anniversary of exhalations (I realize that it's kind of dumb to include a self-referential link, but it seems appropriate somehow). Back in December 2000 I had just discovered Blogger and decided to try keeping an online journal to complement the paper journal I've kept since grad school. Back then I wrote a lot of personal info, but lately feel that people are not that interested in hearing about the minutia of my life. And yet, it's that kind of information that I enjoy reading the most about other people.

My paper journal is now much more graphic, and until I purchase a TabletPC, I will continue with two journal outlets. The nice thing about a Tablet PC and an application like OneNote is the ability to search through older material. It's not easy to find a reference in 20 or 30 paper journals.
