I miss blogging.
Anyone else?
There's a project I've had on the back burner for approximately ever, which I'm excited to finally get off the ground. Please point your ears toward The Modern Technology Podcast Network!
This site is launching with a single podcast called Modern Technology Breaks, which is a part-scripted, part-improvised sketch-comedy podcast. I'm joined in this endeavor by my amazing wife Gila, and other cool talented folks I know will be making guest appearances. Modern Technology Breaks is sure to add a little surreal weirdness to anyone's podcast intake. You can subscribe to this RSS feed in your podcast client of choice, and if you'd like a transcript that's available on the show's episode guide.
Joining Modern Technology Breaks will soon be a number of standard people-chatting type podcasts, and I'll post about those as they happen. You can also keep up to speed by subscribing to Modern.Technology's RSS feed, and by following the network on Twitter, YouTube, and SoundCloud if any of those are your particular jam.
After building up a mighty blogging footprint reaching back to 2002(!), I've decided to pull down all the old posts and give myself a fresh start. They've been archived of course, and I'm keeping copies safe in all the places and fashions I stash personal data which might be interesting or useful to look back upon someday, but it just isn't stuff I feel needs to stick around on my chunk of the open web anymore. I may talk more about that in the future sometime, but in short I felt the need to lighten my digital load, leave behind some things I no longer need, and see what bright things the future has to offer.
I put this blog on the back burner over the last chunk of my life, but I feel it's time to freshen things up around here with a new start. In an era where Web users in general, myself sadly included, more or less left the once-thriving blogosphere behind in favor of social media services outside our own control, I really think we can all stand to take some things back to fully self-administrated venues like this little blog.
I'll post some personal updates over the next post or three.
