Added Assembly Square Mixed-Use District zoning and testimony. Reformatted top of latest uploads to provide space for an This Is Important, Why? column, in different format.

Further simplified the site structure, reducing the number of top-level frames to three, merging the yearly archive up into the archive directory, adding a Published Index link, and consolidating all alphabetical index files into one file accessed by link targets.

Substantive changes: Added first-lines to all references. Added "Xenophobia Forever", removed some of the less important links from the recent uploads page, and added a link to a remake of the "Worst Music Video Candidate".

05-June-2006

The most important decision I have made about this site is to remove multiple semantic connections between topic areas as too hard to maintain by hand. I will continue to maintain the "Archive" of previously-published material and the alphabetical listing, and develop a flatter format to make it easier for a user to see all categories at once. The other important decision I've made about this site is that I have decided to reformat this particular page in table format in order to gradually expand it into a personal log as well as a dry-as-dust revision history.

Specific changes: I have turned the top-level default article into a table containing the most recent or most important uploads in a particular category. I have removed the separate category Articles:Testimony and merged Policy:Development and Policy:Transportation up into Policy and moved Games:Bridge up under Articles. I have also added a category of articles, "Poetry," deleted "Letters To The Editor", and replaced it with a category "Commentary". I have added several humorous song-manglings and some political commentary.
