"When people are ready to, they change. They never do it before then, and sometimes they die before they get around to it. You can't make them change if they don't want to, just like when they do want to, you can't stop them."
google in their infinite wisdom has changed blogger so that instead of loading my specified fifty posts per page it only loads as many as it can do quickly, and since I post slow loading items with impunity you'll find yourself debating whether or not to click "older posts" more often. irksome as heck? yes. but I guess that's why there's google reader.
