The Start of a New Blog

Ah, the crisply fresh feeling of starting a new blog. It is like the coming of a new year—somehow, everything before that first entry is set firmly in a past that hardly seems to count, while everything from the first entry on becomes important. Extremely important, even.

Welcome to the Weblog of Eric Herboso

The start of a new blog is always a momentous occasion for me, but I think that this time it is even more special. Because along with starting this new blog, I am starting my new life.
I suppose I should introduce myself, since this is my first entry. I always have problems with [...]

Worthy of Attention: Taking Stock of Reality: The Meta-Article

   
I may be just enough of a masochist

First Entry in a New Diary

{{note: The following is the beginning of a series of entries (to 3 November, 2001) written as part of a ‘dual-diary’, along with Allison Kearney. Although it is clear that I do not respect the privacy of others when writing about them in my entries, I do not feel it proper to publically post the entries physically [...]
