I am in the running for MKE Online’s Blog of the Week<\/a>, (and right before I was about to start implementing a redesign, too.) If you’ve got the time and inclination, please send a vote my way.<\/p>\n As far as a mission statement goes, my blog is mostly just for aggregating links of interest to tech-heads, geeks and anyone with a sense of humour similar to mine, infrequent heavy-handed reviews of a performance or movie I’ve seen, public diary entries that tend to cause controversy among my readers and the occasional screed just to get something off my chest.<\/p>\n The categories pages pretty much spell this out: Want to know more about me as a person? You could start with Who is this Steelbuddha?<\/a>, Seven Things<\/a>, and Four Things<\/a>.<\/p>\n With all that said, welcome. I’ve got some posts lined up for this week, so if you are withholding your vote, I may sway you with fresh content.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I am in the running for MKE Online’s Blog of the Week, (and right before I was about to start implementing a redesign, too.)

\nBest of the Buddha<\/a> – Things I wrote here that I think are most worth reading.
\nEnnui<\/a> – General snarkiness and a catch-all for posts that didn’t fit elsewhere.
\nFor the Geek in You<\/a> – I am a huge nerd, and these link entries prove it.
\nFound Art<\/a> – Links I found simply by surfing.
\nLink Larceny<\/a> – Links found at other people’s blogs or sent to me by friends
\nSelf-service<\/a> – Diary-style entries, sometimes funny. Internet voyeur urges satisfied.
\nToo Little, Too Late Movie Reviews<\/a> – Untimely opinions on performances.<\/p>\n
