When I blog, I try to employ Minimalism as my guiding principle. Not because it makes things easier for me, quite the opposite. It’s about respect for the reader, but also about the challenge, as illustrated by this famous quote:

OK, so the world doesn’t really need another blog. Yet this realization does in no way discourage me from publishing my own. Go figure.
I used to have a PostNuke site at this domain but it got plastered with content spam and totally neglected by all the witty [...]
