My goal for this site is to be less of a blog (although it will remain that) and more of a publisher. By which I mean, there will be works published here, for people to read. Right now it’s a free-with-donations-accepted model. I’ve got the first volume of Unnamed Journal up in that way, I’ll… Read More New Content, Old Blues
I mentioned earlier that I was going to to be redesigning the site. The idea is for it to be a content hub as much as a blog. So if you click the button in the top corner, you will see some new pages, for the podcasts I am involved with: Shallow & Pedantic and… Read More Content Update and New Shallow & Pedantic Podcast
Which is to say, we’re adding some features to the site to give Unnamed Journal and other publications a more prominent place on it. Swapping out the theme was part of that. I may or may not change it again. You know me, this place is an experiment. As of now, both podcasts associated with… Read More Your Eyes Don’t Deceive You; We’re Under Construction
You fail to blog by blogging to fail. Or failing to plan. Or deciding that you’ve got a bunch of projects occupying your mind and you can’t even begin to reckon on a subject for a post.

My initial plan was to make changes to this site subtly, but visual issues with the theme required a new look, and when combined with the scale of the changes I’ve made on social media, that became more appropriate. So, in brief, let me relate what’s happening: My Tumblr blogs are deleted. Every Damn CD… Read More The Grand Deletion
Most bloggers burn out. There isn’t much reward for it. One talks about it in terms of grind and struggle, but it’s entirely voluntary, as everything on the internet is. So a grind that can end with no real cost… just by stopping? I get it. I think the trick is to match expectations with reality. Blogging… Read More The Grind of Blogging
As the post below shows, I put a new episode of my long-dormant podcast up. I did so for two reasons: I Have Things To Say Beyond The Scope of This Blog. Recent event have made me toy with having things to say on the subject of politics, but I don’t want to turn this… Read More Podcasting is Going to Be a Thing.
I went on one. I saw mountains and rode with Blackfeet. And I got photographic evidence to answer the eternal question. Bears do, in fact, poop in the woods. More content starting tomorrow.
I’ve had this draft about the organizational differences between the Army of the Potomac and Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia, and I was working on it yesterday. The detail involved in it is turning into a minor essay, which is making me wonder if I should take it off WordPress and publish it to Kindle… Read More When Blog Posts Expand
