I came here with a full head of steam, ready to exercise some creativity muscles and post something spectacular.

And then as I got ready to type, I realized I had nothing to talk about today. I mean, besides the soccer player being traded for 33 pounds of meat.

Instead of attempting to trump up an above, but not too much above, average story, I think I'll store up material for a future post.

While I'm at it, I might as well test this new piece of code. Just curious as to how this Internet poll stacks up against the other ones out there. I'll kick things off with the inaugural first ballot, hopefully bypassing the "awkward firsts" syndrome.

Vote early. Vote often. Vote to win. Vote or Die.
