I’ve come across a site called BlogShares, a sort of stock market game for blogs. I have registered brezhnev.net there in the hopes that I will be able to ride this site’s virtual IPO to unimaginable virtual riches. Of course, I am at the mercy of the market; valuation is determined by the number of incoming links. I hope, but do not necessarily expect, that The Market will provide stronger incentives to frequent updates than boredom and mild vanity.

It should be known that since the last update I have started several new posts and simply neglected to finish them. Thus, the potential for more updates, while not always realised, is certainly there. As for the unfinished posts, one of them will be published eventually — the others are no longer relevant and will likely never see the light of day.
