INFO: Categories are del.icio.us!
Phase One of our total revamp of the site is more than halfway through as I've spent most of this weekend tagging every single post from November 2004 through December 2005, enabling everyone (myself included) to easily sort through and access our content, regardless of how old it is.

I am still enjoying Douglas Wolk's weekly dissection of the increasingly convoluted storyline, though, and this week's entry was particularly good, in that same way I enjoy seeing an "0-4; 3 Ks" stat line for Alex Rodriguez.Wolk breaks down Grant Morrison's Great Ten, exposing the lazy research that apparently went into…
