I have discovered that the more tired I am, the less effective my writing is. It's not a surprising correlation, but if you check my times of posting, you'll probably notice that the long, abstruse, painful posts come at times or on days or in weeks when I'm exhausted.

I've also discovered that my shift key is broken. It makes it hard to type capital letters.

I've also discovered that the NYT crossword is so much harder than others as to be an entirely different skill set.
