If it's a plot, I'm not in on it. There seems to be a problem of some kind on Google's end. I assume it will clear up shortly. I'll keep testing this and let you know.
My name is Brian Caulfield. I bought this domain name many years ago, so I could grab it before some squatter began charging me to get mail at brian[at]caulfield.net. Now that I've got the email address I wanted, I've got this Web site too. I've always figured I'd try to make it a resource. A "blog" seems to be the right way to do that.
