Tap, Tap, Tap. Is this thing on?

A variety of factors conspired to burn me out on blogging for some months.

To make matters worse, my blog feeds were broken by the Google buyout of Blogger.com and a change in LiveJournal syndication.

It's amazing how feeling not very creative combined with the knowledge that no one is listening can conspire to sap all desire to write.

But I'm back, baby!
The tech issues are fixed. (I hope.)
And I've got lots on my mind.

First, I just wanna check, "Can you hear me now?"

If you're seeing my recent posts, such as this one, won't you please post a comment and let me know? If you include how you view my blog (LiveJournal, RSS, directly) that would be helpful.

P.S. Apologies to anyone who's blog feed is now full of my old posts. This is because LiveJournal fixed my syndication and now sees all these posts as new. Going forward you should only see my new posts.
