Big News
I’ve been away for too long. Writing the blog has always seemed to come in spurts, and I find that I very quickly become bored with the design, my posts, and just the whole process. The glut of information available to read has very quickly made my interaction with the blogosphere nearly 100% one-way. Sure, I try to comment now and then instead of lurking via RSS, but I’ve been reduced to a shell of the blogger and commenter I once was. I could trot out the tired old “I’m too busy” excuse, but I think my interest just waned over the last few months. Like anything else, if you don’t make a change every now and then, it can get boring.
So, I started with a fresh Wordpress install, imported my posts and comments, and picked a template. This is version 4.0, with 1.0 and 2.0 being hosted elsewhere and version 3.0 being my first foray into Wordpress. I’ll probably keep tweaking the design and still have a lot of work to do cleaning up tags and categories, but I’m happy to have the blog back up and running.
Not to bury the lede, but the big news in my life at the moment is that we’re having a baby. I can’t really describe the feeling except to say that we’re thrilled, anxious, and in complete awe over the fact that we’re going to become parents. Never before have I been so humbled by something planned. Heather is due April 16th, 2009. About ten days ago, I stood in a small doctor’s office in Dunwoody and strained to hear the heartbeat of our literally nascent child. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced anything like that in 27 years, and I know that the wonders are just beginning.
