Starting Over as an Act of Malice

So why the blog reboot?

Blog 1.0 was a test to see if I maintain a relatively regular series of posts. I’m not going to grade myself, but I think I did okay. I wanted to do two things; write a personal running commentary on events in my life and engage in taste-making, pointing out to visitors some of the wonderful things on the internet that showed up in my browser. I ended up doing a bit more of the second and while I love blogs that act as a curator, I felt my own attempts were parroting better sites than reflecting me. Because of that, the blog went into hibernation while I pursued other creative outlets.

I wanted to start writing again, but picking up where I left off felt uncomfortable, like trying to squeeze into the pants I wore back in my college days (back then I was as thin as a bamboo reed, today I’m… not). I took a hatchet to my posts, mopped up the stray words, and started painting over the crime scene. The internet might not forget, but it likely won’t mourn either.

So here I am, placeholder graphics hastily-posted while I figure out what shape Version Two is going to be.
