I just realized that some people may have an old URL in their rss/feed readers. When I switched from Wordpress to Movable Type, the URL changed. Here is the new, correct URL: http://www.cmerrill.com/mt/atom.xml.

Posts have been relatively few and far between lately, but I expect things to pick up a bit as the end of the year approaches.
