Goodbye Movable Type, Hello WordPress
When I first started my personal site, I used Movable Type as my blogging software. Back then, MT was only in its infancy, version 1 or 2. I don’t believe there was WordPress yet. I did the site myself – design, templating (a very cool feature back then) and MT was just the part that powered the blog. Since then, at least two major versions of MT were released, but my site was still running on legacy MT templates.
When MT 4 was released, I knew it was time to redo my site. Blogging software had grown to be complex content management systems, and I could do the entire site using the software, rather than just the blogging component of my site. I had planned to stick to MT. However, I felt I liked MT less and less, and my experiences with WordPress (for my church and a friend) made me like it more and more.
Since I had a bit of free time this week, I decided to migrate my site to WP. Thankfully, I don’t have many posts and pages to migrate. And so, goodbye Movable Type, and hello WordPress!

Immaturity Levels Rising
From the article:
The psychological neoteny effect of formal education is an accidental by-product — the main role of education is to increase general, abstract intelligence and prepare for economic activity. But formal education requires a child-like stance of receptivity to new learning, and cognitive flexibility. When formal education continues into the early twenties, it probably, to an extent, counteracts the attainment of psychological maturity, which would otherwise occur at about this age.
