Building the New, Part One: The Plan
Because I don't have enough to do, I'm redrafting things there. I don't want to that statement to come as a whine because "having too much to do" is a delightful side effect of the active writing brain; it's just that too much to do means that things happen slowly because one's time is so disperse across these many activities. This website, for one. So, here's the plan and I'm only telling you so that -- if you like -- you can keep abreast of how and where things are going.
Most of everything will stay right here, but will get different clothes. The journal, however, is heading to LiveJournal. In fact, it's already there. Monkey Comes Down From The Mountain is where the daily minutia will now be marked. Me, and the thousands of others who detail the small events of our lives. LiveJournal allows me to more easily participate in the round about with some others who I want to stay in close contact with so it only made sense to go play in that pool. This journal will be clearly linked from here so you don't need to remember how to find it.
This blog (there are five running on markteppo.com) will turn into a straight research log with commentary about that research. Travis (opi8 editor guy) coined a reference a while back which will probably become the guiding intent of the research blog: the "paranoid bunny magus." So, if any of those three words (or the combination thereof) strike you as interesting, then there will be things to entertain you there.
The writing, music review and photo logs will stay, though the writing log will focus more on actual creative work as the research bits will fall here. And our recording of Solomon's growth will stay right where it is. I know that you're all just here for pictures of my kid anyway.
So, that's the plan. It'll take a little while for it to all fall out and things may just a bit dusty and unorganized in the process. Please bear with me. The end result will be more streamlined and focused and less like the efforts of someone who just figured out [div] tags work and loves all the colors he can get out of Photoshop. (This is the problem with using the real cheap labor I can get my hands on.)
