Semi-Full Disclosure

I like blogging on Blogspot. One of the features I like about it is that it allows me to blog every day, without having to actually log on and type something comprehensible with an actual span of 24 hours.

Instead, I can simply tell Blogspot what date and time I would *like* a posting to have, and it just does it. I don't have to hack into the time-stamping system or anything, I just *say* it and it is so.

Wow.

So I do, in fact, do that thing with this blog. But for the sake of fairness, I always assing these retroactive postings the time of 12:01 PM. Since almost all of my legitimate postings are written shortly before or long after midnight, it's a pretty good bet that anything supposedly written at 12:01 is chronologically suspect.

Just so's you know.
