In which I renounce lowercase

Ok: I haven't written here for a while. I like writing but it was distracting me from making music, and I wanted to focus on making music again. I feel ready to try writing more and seeing if I can keep the two in balance a bit better this time.

A couple of things will change, though.

First, I want to use this space to write longer pieces with a bit more thought in them. This doesn't mean every post will be long, but that I'll use this space to develop longer arguments. That's the dream, anyway.

Second, I hereby renounce the use of all-lower-case. It's a habit I got into. The problem with said habit is it makes you look eight years old. Some people can manage to make intelligent arguments in all-lower-case and have their intelligence be apparent despite it. (Darrin Verhagen is the first person who springs to mind here.)

I have a feeling I am not one of these people. There's no real problem with that, except that I'm interested in moving debate forward on a few topics, and it's easier to do that when one is taken seriously. And it's easier to take someone seriously when they don't present themselves like an eight-year old.
