Something to say

Apparently Albert Einstein was once asked to give a highly anticipated university commencement speech over a formal dinner. For his speech he stood up and said:

"I do not have any particular thoughts to express today, so I wish you all success in your future years."

And then he sat down. After a moment, he stood up again, walked back to the microphone and indicated that if he did have something to say in the future he would come back. Some months later he contacted the university and they held the dinner again in his honour.

Today, I don't have anything to say. Not for lack of ideas - I usually have around two or three new ideas to blog about each day - but rather because I'm increasingly wanting to delve deeper and deeper into topics. Many nights I get to the wee hours of the morning and am still not happy with my post, so I find a quick topic to put up instead and carry the topic over to the next day.

I'm therefore going to modify my original goal of posting daily to instead post whenever I have a meaningful post ready to give you. I'm also going to cut myself some slack and point you to good material without feeling the need to give extensive background on it - in this way I can point you to more useful resources. At this stage I don't know how often I will post but it will be at least one post a week and at times many more.
