Piffey

I created this blog with the express purpose of having it jump-start my writing. The more you write the more you realize that the process of transforming ideas into words on the page functions much like a muscle — the more you work it the stronger it becomes and the easier it is to perform. Since my muscle had begun to atrophy, gain fat, find itself alone in the corner at parties, and eventually contemplating just ending it all together I decided it would be best to become a blogger than let it die obese and alone. If you liked reading my daily rantings on technology then you have been much affected by the success of this writing workout program. Posts here have dwindled significantly while my personal production has been frantic and explosive.

While I continue to find the issues I set out to highlight on this blog interesting, I’ve also found it unproductive for me to divert my attention from my primary writing focus to peruse information technology law papers, nerdy websites, and copyfight blogs — all of which inevitably lead me to surfing the Internet for far too long. So I’ve decided to shatter what I was originally keeping as a theme on this blog and instead write about not just technology, but also the cultural junk (whether it be books, films, music, or other blogs) that I’ve been sucked into.

This will hopefully allow me to remain productive on a single offline project while producing some decent web content. I’ll also be changing the site up a bit in the coming days to allow for decent image placement — deviating from my original idea of keeping the site entirely image-free.
