changes, experiments, and trailing commas

well, the delicious links experiment didn’t work too well.

for one thing, i have too many links every day, and they overpower the real weblog. i have a low-threshold linklog and a high-threshold weblog. combining them is bad. and when it isn’t, there’s the medium-threshold cherries.

second, out of delicious context, the links aren’t worth as much. the “…and x others” is rather important - a lot of my links’ meaning is in what other users think of them. by looking at the “others” of several links, i can get an idea of who has common interests. i often refine my link descriptions and categories when i see somebody has a better idea of them than i do.

third, my little sister just said “[groan]! you have too many words [on your blog], wordo!”. by not including those delicious posts, i will significantly lower the words-to-pictures ratio, so i must. she knows better than i do about many things.
