i’m not trying to be reclusive. the “Blog Against Theocracy” endeavor this past weekend went extremely well. my first post, “Why A Theocratic State Isn’t Necessary” (also here on Mock, Paper Scissors) was picked up nationally and included in a couple of compilations. so, in terms of writing, it was nice to get back into that stream of things and be recognized for it. Tengrain at Mock, Paper, Scissors invited all of us who guest-blogged over there to stay on and do so from time to time.
i’m trying to develop a schedule where i can contribute to these endeavors more effectively. i’m really liking the WordPress system—enough so, in fact, that i am already drafting a version of ShadowMoon.com in WordPress, and my ISP is working on getting us setup on a different server. i don’t think i will pull everything over there, but Synthaetic Synapse will probably make one more move and be housed along with ShadowMoon so they can share the same setup data. thanks to the blogswarm and some generous acceptance from several of the mid-tier national blogs, i’m getting enough hits at the Otherwhirled that i don’t think it’d be a good idea to move it. besides, using WordPress’ distributed system is…er…free. so, this and that will probably stay up here, but i will be pointing some domains at them. i have some setup stuff to reconfigure before i can point dawnne.com to this blog, but that is my intention. i’ll have to finally hunt down the few subscriptions and such that i have pointing email to dawnne<at>dawnne.com
#1 Daughter has had a pretty good eighth birthday week, despite the wet, sloppy snow on her birthday yesterday. the family party was over the weekend, and her actual party is this upcoming weekend. it’s nice when we can spread things out for her birthday like that, since her brother-head always gets a longish one up next to Christmas. i’ll try to get some pics up of the present-opening and all that today, but i’ve got quite a few things on my plate this week. it might be (much) later tonight.
thanks to the slush, soccer is once again on hiatus, the timing for which isn’t bad. i have my first wedding of the season this Saturday. never a dull moment.
Bravo!
I am sooooo proud of you!
Tengrain
thanks, Tengrain. like i said elsewhere, it’s a pity that my follow-up posts weren’t of quite the same caliber, but i also didn’t find explaining sciolism a very easy task. the word doesn’t even spell-check in anyone’s wordproc lexicon, lol.
anywho, folks, if you’re unfamiliar with Mock, Paper, Scissors (http://www.mockpaperscissors.com ~ it’s also linked in the sidebar at the right), haul your collective asses over their pronto-like. Tengrain’s one of the best in the snark biz, and he’s also very good people as well. i’m only going to cross-post over there if i honestly feel it’s up to the standards he sets.
