New and improved

September 14, 2008 |

All right, now that I’ve dusted a little around this site, I feel like I can post again with some freedom. Most of the changes have been small or detail-oriented, but there are two big ones:

  • I’m no longer in the freelance web design game. I haven’t been since late 2007, and most of my friends and contacts know it, but in case you’re curious, I’m taking a break to concentrate on other things. If and when that status changes, I’ll let everyone know.
  • I added a Google Reader widget to this site (see the sidebar). This is just a list of other items that I catch on my reader and think are worth sharing. You can read the full articles and any comments I’ve added to them here. Do you guys like the ninja layout? I do. On this page, you can just glance over the titles and see if anything strikes your interest.

Life-wise, things are much different and much the same from the last time I was regularly updating this. I’m still in the publishing game, I’m still an amateur tech geek. This year’s major goal was a presidential biography reading project (Washington - Nixon, one full bio each)  that got way out of hand very early on, and now has expanded to a looser, wider historical survey of all kinds of characters relevant to American history. I have learned to cook pretty well but still can’t keep plants to save my life. I’m still teaching at Literacy Partners and enjoying it even more–having a new and very on-the-ball co-tutor has helped a lot. My summer went quickly but well, my sister came from FL and spent a month with me in the city (she just left this morning). I’m still dating the same guy and that’s swimming right along. I have been listening to a lot of country music for reasons I can’t fully explain, even to myself, but am also building up my playlist of international techno and house artists to even it out.

My New Season Resolution is to update this thing with something half-interesting or relevant at least once a week. I joined Twitter recently and those posts (infrequent at this point) will come here, but I’m talking about “real” updates. Will it happen, or will I once again fail the blogosphere? Stay tuned and you all will find out.
