I recommend you check that out as well (there's a page in this site for it). Pages vs. Posts on this blog: Pages are more along the lines of articles whereas the Blog posts are just random observations. There's no sharp distinction between the two however. Maybe someday, I'll organize it better. But probably not. (Incidentally I really like this "Digg 3 Column" theme...)
