			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ahh those were the days! I started blogging in 2002 under the &#8220;Wizard of Liquid Oz&#8221; moniker. Oh how I wish I would have kept posting. After countless resets (I liked tinkering with code more than writing) I got a little better at posting in 2003 but it never took mainly because blog tools and the internet connection (in China) were such a pain in the @ss.</p>
<p>Here are a few of the posts from the <a title="An internet Archive: See if it archived your site" href="http://www.archive.org/web/web.php" target="_blank">wayback machine</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>03.03.03</strong></p>
<p>In the beginning the blog was without form and void and darkness was over the face of the entire site. And the Wizard was hovering in the face of the machine.</p>
<p>Genesis 1:2 WLOZT (Wizard&#8217;s LOZ Translation)</p>
<p>said the <strong>WiZArd</strong> @ 7:49 PM CST</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I lived in Beijing/Shanghai from 2000-2004 which offered plenty of blog fodder&#8230;</p>
