Love your blog, just started reading it several days ago. Found it while surfing for opinions to help me decide whether to restart a subscription to Sci Am. I loved that mag in 70s and 80s but gave up in the 90s. Still no better with a new editor so I guess it's gone for good. Anyway! I've been going back through your entries and soon became aware it was rather annoying that the entries must be read from bottom-to-top, while of course within each entry one reads top-to-bottom. So when starting a new month I scroll clear to the bottom, scroll up slowly to find the top of the last (earliest) entry, then when finished slowly go back up /two/headings to find the next (newer), etc. Argh! Why not just put the newest entry at the bottom each time?? Then the whole thing reads nicely top-to-bottom. Thanks :-) Warning: OT!
