I've decided that, in the interest of the sneaky [unobtrusive mode](http://willnorris.com/2007/02/unobtrusive-wpopenid?ref=chrismessina.me) for the [wpopenid plugin](http://willnorris.com/projects/wpopenid/?ref=chrismessina.me), I'm going to start using simply [factoryjoe.com](http://factoryjoe.com/?ref=chrismessina.me) as my web address instead of [factoryjoe.com/blog](http://factoryjoe.com/blog?ref=chrismessina.me)... this is a pretty big change, but I think it's both time to simplify and get with the delegation I set up of my root. Hmmm. Of course this means I now need to put something more interesting on factoryjoe.com... damn.
