Merged postings from 2006 and new web site

I've merged a few postings from an old blog I started in July 2006 that was supposed to be for more candid reflections. You'll find them in the July 2006 archive of course.

Also, please note that moving forward I am using the built-in blog on my new website shivasongster.com

It's much easier for me to post there and keep it integrated with my content management system.
