Hi James,
Took a quick look at your blog and will try to get back to it again (time constraints, ya know... sighhhhh). I like the aesthetics. I'm not fond of the whole "bells and whistles" approach, so its simplicity and clarity is appealing to me. I was also quite interested in your most recent entry as it relates, somewhat, to my work. I'm a Canadian, myself, so I like to read and consider viewpoints emerging from the States and beyond.
All the best on your continued writings... and I'll get back to you on that whole "granting of three wishes"
E.
