Ordinary post

I've posted a lot of pictures recently. I thought I'd just write an ordinary post instead. My good friend graduated from the U of I last week. At my friends graduation, Jawed Karim, the co-founder of YouTube, spoke at the ceremonies. I posted a few clips on YouTube. He gave a pretty good speech. I've been having some trouble getting my router to work--not sure what the problem is. I'm not sure if that is the correct use of the hyphen. I checked with wikipedia. It's the dash, not the hyphen, that I was actually looking for. They have a good example of how the hyphen and the dash are used:

The use of a hyphen where a dash is intended—especially when the intent is to interrupt rather than connect ideas—can confuse readers, since the word-connecting hyphen often conveys the exact opposite typographical meaning of the thought-separating long dash. wikipedia

I was not aware of that. And now I can go free, free from the prison walls that my hyphen-dash confusion had created and now bound only by the enigmatic semicolon.
