Dirtstyle 2.0
Here we go, yo.
I decided I liked this simplistic layout enough to make it the new theme for the blog as I rebuild. I want (need) to get back to using this outlet, and building it up from scratch is appealing. So here it is, dirtstyle, with big ass images.
There's more on the way. The writerly mission is to start delving into the sorts of things you'd find in the archives, a kind of personal wiki. I'm toying with the idea of mixing in real gonzo-style stuff with the usual autobio/about-me crap, taking things a little bit further, maybe making up a bunch of pseudonyms. In any case, I'm going to get back into writing about the juicy stuff.
On the coding end, I need to figure out some clever way to deal with categories and the like. I also need to figure out how best to incorporate all the varied content. Not just the archives, but also the old blog content, and disparate things like Vagabender. It'll be an evolution.
I'm looking forward to it.
Hah!

FWIW, it was a pleasant surprise to see this bolded in my RSS reader today. Good to see you blogging again.

I want to keep tabs on where you go with this. I've been putting some thought in reviving my old book review and adding a projects section. I can't seem to find it in me to write about me (not that I inherently should find that in me) but I think if I just posted half the neat things I end up doing it would do a better job of describing me than anything I could write.
The pseudonyms intrigue me, I'd run with that.
P.S. and you f*cking math problem still doesn't work right. 8+1 = 9 G-D it!

Thanks all for the kind words.
