I'm getting little to no response to these posts, but as I said in the first installment, it's really more for posterity than anything else, so I guess the silence is okay. (And honestly, I'm tired of writing about education right now. There's more to the world than that!) @Jon, Scanning your blog, the same seems true of you :)

The long answer is no. The fingers typing these words are the same ones, and the eyes seeing them appear on the screen are too, and the body holding those fingers and eyes and everything else up are as well - but I am infinitely not the same person. The changes you'll most often see are that I don't make grammar or spelling "mistakes" anymore (mistakes including <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_slang" rel="nofollow">abbrs</a>). Of course, there's no such thing as an absolute and all that, but when I do it's genuinely a mistake and quickly corrected. One thing you may not see is my writing. I have yet to decide whether to post it on my blog, as it's rather personal. This is sounding rather more long-winded than I usually am, so I'll stop here. /gradster(1)/ /gradster(1)/s last blog post..<a href="http://nmhwu.wordpress.com/2008/07/29/knight-spent-fighting-crime/" rel="nofollow">Knight Spent Fighting Crime</a> @Clay - The short answer to that question is yes.

Truly an understanding to aspire to.
