I need to be better about upkeep here, and I may actually have some interesting things to post about in the near future.

Until then, you can keep an eye on the weird stuff I post on tumblr or twitter.

The truth is, the more that goes on in real life, the less time I have to post. So, the times where the most interesting things are happening are the times I’m not posting about those interesting things.

What’s a boy to do?

Simplify!

I don’t know yet, but I may be replacing this site with my tumblr account, or maybe even a new tumblr account.  Hell, maybe I’ll write up something quick to aggregate multiple tumblr accounts and post them here.

I can’t say for sure. My time to do ANYTHING on ANY of my sites has been very limited. A new baby, trying to sell my house, an Autism Walk, and work tend to get in the way of pointless blogging.

The truth of it is, I’m having a hard time keeping up with this blog. I seem to update it in waves. I am very good with updating Twitter, Plurk, etc… Tumblr has a feel similar to those sites (at least for updating), and is very easy for me to update from my iPhone.

We’ll see how long as lasts, but for now I think it’s going to work out.

I’ve actually got a good amount of posts planned, but some personal issues came up that where just more important than anything else.

Hopefully I’ll get back to writing soon. I’ve got some more book reviews and Courier slabs to post.

WP-Cumulus gives you a spherical tag cloud that rotates as you move your mouse around it.  I think it looks MUCH better than a flat cloud.

Since I still like the idea of a tweet digest, I’m switching to a weekly one. It’ll be longer, for sure, but it won’t clutter up this space so much.

While the tweet digests did get a bit of traffic, I’m sure it was mostly from sites that crawl and scrape those kind of things.

The service is still in beta, though it feels pretty solid.  It’s missing a bit of chrome, like the ability to change the theme of your timeline.  Right now the default theme is pretty ugly, in my opinion.  The only other thing it really needs is users.  I almost feel that SocialKloud has come a bit too late after the death of Pownce.  A lot of users have already moved on to different services such as Plurk (my current favorite), Twitter, Vox, etc…

I really like SocialKloud, but I can’t see myself REALLY using it unless a lot of my old Pownce friends converted over to it.  It has a lot of potential, now it just needs the users.

Maybe I’ll try setting up portfolio.rck2.net in rails as a way to practice. Who knows.

What I’m posting here is the unedited version. This still needs to be reread, edited, and cleaned up.

The Memory Grounds.
