And Now, A Letter From The Editor...

Well, it's been over two years since I last wrote here. Life got busy and complicated and blogging just didn't seem worthwhile for a long stretch of time. Now that I'm busier than ever, though, the time feels right.

First, a bit of history. When last I wrote here, I was working a terrible web advertising job that made me hate waking up every morning. Bad place to be fresh out of college and I was glad to leave when I did as the office shut down shortly thereafter. Spent a year soul-searching, working on pet projects and going on interviews at awesome companies I never would have thought would let me in the front door, let alone humor me with multiple interviews. Finally, just over a year ago I started simultaneous indefinite design internships with the as-yet-unannounced Pitchfork.tv independent music video channel and popular web magazine Nerve and its sister site Babble. Both have been great fun and life finally feels good, if still experimental.

Lately I've been doing a bit of writing for Nerve, primarily for their video game blog, 61 Frames Per Second. It's somewhat fulfilling, but sometimes I get the urge to write about things that have nothing to do with video games, which is why I'm coming back home to my own original blog.

I started this blog back in 2003 – before the media figured out what a blog was and how to exploit it and before many of the most popular blogs on the interweb got their start – as an experiment in social communication. The goals have shifted with whatever its participants have needed it to be in the time since, but the general idea hasn't changed. So I'm back.

First, I'm going to start archiving my favored work from elsewhere on here, then I'm going to keep it going when I can. Thanks for your time and I hope you enjoy.
