A few updates

I've decided to do a bit of  blog-cleaning around here.  Well, maybe redecorating is a more apt description.  So what's new?

• A list of my favorite labels
• New background image
• A list of some of the blogs I'm following
• A list (down at the bottom) of popular posts
• A new "bookshelf" of books I've read recently
• I updated (slightly) the "About me" section and moved it to the bottom of the page

That's all!  Carry on!
