Starting again at blogspot...

Just a quick starting note here. I originally started blogging a couple of years ago on myspace, first because it was easy, but also because it fulfilled a desire to make it easily available to one of my primary target groups, college students.

Over time though, I've realized that myspace has a few issues that make it desirable to move elsewhere. First, blogs on myspace are much more often in the realm of "I brushed my teeth at 7:34 am this morning, and spit twice." I've never been writing a "personal interest" blog" (and amy still VERY unclear on who finds that stuff interesting...) and thus being blended in with them is a problem. Second, myspace is just plain taken less seriously than other sites, which is too bad; I'd rather the world was a place of fairness and light, where people are judged on their ideas, but hey, we all know how likely that is... Third, the myspace interface is just NOT very good for blogging -- especially if you write off-line and then try to cut and paste something heavily formatted into the myspace blog. If you've tried it, you know how frustrating it is. If not, this is fair warning... And finally, myspace has really become JUST a music spot now, with a whole lot less social stuff going on outside of the artsy realm. A great place to find new music, but not so much for sharing ideas...

Soooooo... I'll now start blogging over here on blogspot. It seems to be reasonably reputable, I did a minimal amount of research which suggests its pretty easy to use, and it was handy. I may eventually go back and post some (or all) of my old posts from myspace, but for now, this is a start.

And if you are finding me here by random, or are moving with me from myspace, please know that I am here not just to share ideas that I've had, but also to hear back from you. Comments, thoughts, questions and rebuttals are always appreciated!
