Just a technical note: Corante has been upgrading to a new version of Movable Type, and they're still working out a few glitches. Some readers have already reported trouble posting comments. You can vent any other sort of frustration in my direction, and I'll let the powers that be know. I assume everything will be sorted out shortly.

The good folks at Corante are rejiggering the design of their blogs, The Loom included. Some stuff has yet to make the transition as of this writing, but before too long it will all be back in place.
Thanks to the various readers who have noticed the creationist Google ads that pop up on some of the Loom's pages. Such are the hazards of letting robots handle ads. I will talk with the good people at Corante about this.
It's been a month since I've joined Corante, and my deep thanks go out to the many new readers who have visited the Loom. Daily visits reached a new high this Friday, January 9, with 900 pairs of eyeballs pointed this way.
Please accept my apologies for the vile spam comments that keep showing up here. I hope that the folks at Corante and I can find a way to permanently shut down the flow of craven obscenity.
Testing
Your RSS feed (using Sage in Firefox) seems to have a broken title at the top. When I click "The Loom" to head to the blog itself, I am directed to the RSS feed, where I already am, rather than the website.
Of course, I complain only because I enjoy the blog.
