Nitpicking

It has been pointed out to me that the title text of this blog is inaccurate, by referring to the word semi-daily. This is due to the fact that instead of meaning roughly daily, i.e. not to a stringent publishing schedule, it means twice a day. This is in part due to the confusing nature of semi- and bi- preceding time periods or measurements. Bi means two or double the period; semi means half or twice within a period.

Semicircle; half of a circle. Semi-daily; published twice as much.
Bicycle; twice as many wheels. Biweekly; published half as often (every two weeks).

Complicated.

To attempt to cut through this red tape of linguistic nonsensities, I have decided not to actually update regularly to actually fulfill my blog description. Instead I've tweaked the description. This is what is known in business circles as 'rebranding'.
