I Am Back!
“put the wax on the table / let the dj spin it” -BBoys
I am back y’all! Rusty and shakin it off … It’s been a long while since February 2007.
Resurrected the blog from a noisy 1U rack server that I used to have hosted at sonic.net. Got all of my postings (March 2003 onward) here for your amusement.
Looking back, some of them are not what I would write now. It would have been cinchy to just start from scratch. On the other hand, it’s more fun to have the history (almost 4 years!) and show some evolution.
Evolution — I’ve made it out of the newbie blogging waters and am up on the warm beach dunes. Off in the distance is a shiny plastic city of one-track blogs on multilevel marketing. Over to the left is experimental artsville, rickety blog tents that amaze for a moment and then blow over from the wind of ISP overage charges.
I see a couple of other destinations — one of them is rural, with a beautiful barn studio full of computers, musical paraphernalia, and a video / lights set. It’s the blog of creative and tech that is the grounded contrast between nature and tech overload.
The other view from the dunes, of course, is the city loft in the midst of graffiti sprayed subway signed watch out for that speeding taxi high volume pedestrian hubbub. Get into the freight elevator, go up, stream some dub reggae, and write.
Back to the hot sand on the beach burning my paws … I dont head for country or city just yet (although I can certainly indulge both in Second Life). I have my for-pay work (3D Web), an amicable divorce to go through, a house to sell, and lots of connections to refresh. Time to get out of so much hermit mode!
Feels good to be back into it. I had flitted with tumblr and some Pownce, but this is really my home.
Unlocks the door, steps in, opens the double hungs to air out the blog room. Brews coffee and ponders the updating and tweaks to make.
