I’ve realized that my life is marked by consumption. I’m subscribed to hundreds of blogs, I listen to audio books, I watch movies and videos online – but it’s all passive. There’s no synthesis. There’s no creation.

I know that I’ve got thoughts and ideas. I know we’re doing neat things around the house. I know that I’ve got things to share. I just need to make the effort to do more than simply consume.

With all that in mind, I’ve upgraded WordPress and installed a new, cleaner theme. I also really stripped down the categories because I felt like they were just too unwieldy. If you find something broken, let me know and I’ll see what I can do to fix it.

So, keep an eye on this space – the blog will be more than it was before and the focus will be changing. There will be less of the simple, one-off, un-related posts and more actual content. I’ve been working on some AppleScripts to help me keep track of stuff that I’ll be sharing and I’m going to talk more about what we’re doing around the house, in addition to internet technology thoughts at large.
