i'm awfully glad i'm a beta

dudes and dudettes who have subscribed to this blog either by google homepage or plain old XML, the link i had there before was a bit wonky, and since blogger upgraded to beta, they changed the atom feed setup. what does this mean to you? well, if you clicked to subscribe before, then do it again. i updated the links in the sidebar. if sidebars offend you, you may click the relevant links inside this very post.
