So Yeah

Maybe I’m back to blogging. We’ll see how it goes. The kids are healthy again, and we’ve settled once more into a routine of sorts, but we’ll see how long it lasts.

Speaking of blogging, one of the cooliest writer peeps out there, Mer Haskell, has elected to collapse her blog and LiveJournal into one, favoring the LJ. You can find her there as fairmer (pronunciation guide: the name rhymes with itself). There’s been a lot of angst out there about LJ, but rest assured I wasn’t blogging the other day because I haven’t been blogging the past couple weeks, not because I was joining the so-called strike.

As far as that goes, my mind is aligned with Ferrett’s. No one of consequence noticed, I guarantee. And really, I don’t mind there being some kind of minor hurdle to social networking sites like this. Signal-to-noise is something that’s been a problem on the internet since the beginning, only now companies are starting to depend on the signal side of the ration for their livelihood, even if they are Russian.

MySpace is still free, but heavily ad-supported… and they attract a demographic that will click on any damn thing.

Elsewhere, Matt Mitchell is offering the first five chapters of his novel, Modern-Day Mythica, on his blog. Unfortunately, the rest of it isn’t available anywhere right now, or even potentially available unless he caves to reader pressure and puts the whole thing up online.

And fellow Codex Writer Kosmo has a new blog you should totally check out called Kosmo’s Lab Book. Apparently he’s one of those hot up-and-coming author types.
