Regular visitors may have noticed I've been trying a couple of new format experiments with the site. One is the social-networking links for each article (DIGG ME DIGG ME — just kidding), something I've avoided for a while but which is probably inevitable at this point. Such things are here to stay, although they may change form as they go, and the least I can do is integrate them as elegantly as possible.

The other is a new format for certain kinds of reviews, like the Blade of the Immortal piece I just put up. For stuff that takes a long time to work through, like a TV series, I can post a stub with some basic discussion of the thing. Later, when I'm done, it'll be revised and expanded into a full review (perhaps with the original text available as a flyout or popup).
