Time to start over, start something new.
For the very few, if any, read this, you'll notice nothing has happened. Got busy I guess. So, I'm going to start building something new, and will be making a fresh start, a new direction. A blog with a purpose.
Re-charged and ready, let's go 2010.
I have become a statistic, a part of the blogging population that goes from posting regularly to all together falling off the face of the earth for a while. Why does this happen? Well, in my case, too many balls in the air at once has deterred me from posting things that I found were compelling for you to read. The blog itself kind of lost the plot, went from interesting social media and gadget articles to a hodgepodge of disconnected postings involving music videos and plastic arms you attach toilet paper too. Admit it though, that was pretty funny.
Over the next couple weeks, I plan on doing one of two things:
1) changing the layout, focusing on a couple topics and just posting on these, and continuing to have fun with this. The blogesphere is a muddled landscape of carbon copy sites and, similar to what happened here, sites that have more tumbleweeds rolling through it then fresh updates. The one thing I did notice is what other bloggers were grabbing from me and re-posting on their sites (most were pretty classy and tied it back to my site instead of what I was referring to) and so I think I'll take stock in that and focus on those types of things.
2) shutting it down all together, focusing on the other things i have going on in life right now, and maybe giving it a fresh shot again after all the dust settles around me. Either way, the whole purpose of this blog was always for me to share things I found interesting and enteraining with you. Not a pipe dream revenue based site or the next "Gizmodo" (still one of my favorite blogs), but being unique can be challenging.
For those dozen people that actually follow my site, thanks and I hope I can continue to fill your inbox with entertaining and sometimes downright ridiculous posts. Until then, you can always find me on Twitter....
This is the reason why I've been so absent from posting recently. I know we're all busy, so hardly an excuse, but it has eaten up a lot of my free time as of late. My fiance and I closed on our first home this morning, and since 8:30 this morning I've run a bit of a gambit of emotions, all in a positive way. I'm happy the process is over with and look forward to what is to come in the future.
Another chapter in the "Becoming an Adult" I guess...
Artplosure 2009 happened over the weekend in downtown Raleigh, and it was one of the best art festivals I've attended in a long time. While I'll always love my Hoboken Music and Arts Festival, somewhere along the way, they lost the plot and became more of a "look how many things our vendors can fry" event with little focus on the artists. Not here. Live performances, interactive activities for anyone who wanted to participate, and nicely mapped out area around Moore Square making it easy for you to move around and take time to find everything you wanted to check out.
I took some shots for my new Meetup group, which you can checkout out here.
Looking forward to the next one!
