I read somewhere that somebody was doing a book about blogs that are only one post long. It's a potentially interesting topic.

I'm not sure when the shield became the more familiar five-sided figure it is today, but it raises lots of questions about where we're supposed to look for meaning. Does anybody look at this and think it's a triangle?
