Two items of note.

The first is regarding my new website. Yes, that's right. Stop checking this blog and head to saltmanz.com instead. Why? Because all of my posts to this blog show up on that site. As well as my Facebook posts, LiveJournal entries, Del.icio.us bookmarks, LibraryThing activity, et cetera. Amazing, yes? There's still some minor layout issues for me to finish up, but the site's been fully functional for some time now.

Secondly, my birthday is coming up, and for anyone wondering about my wishlists, they are always available at this link.
