Heads-Up Display

Sorry for the distinct lack of updates here on ByM over the last three months.

In the meantime, I’ve been keeping a very minimalist “daily dashboard” blog over on Dreamwidth. It’s called “Heads-Up Display”. You may want to have a look:

a new look for fall

mwkelley — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 02:57:07 +0000

Tonight I decided to update Beyond Metamora to the latest version of WordPress and rearrange the site to look like a more conventional– well, more like a blog, basically.

It bums me out in one sense, but in other ways inspires me. I’m going to miss the homemade sharpie-marker design that I made in 2006, but I’m hitting a point where I need this site to be a more purely text-based & utility-rich medium. Maybe the next time I revamp the site I’ll figure out a way to combine the two styles and get my Sharpie warpaint back.

Right now, though, I just need a place to easily decompress some arbitrary text out of my brainpan. Lately the ideas have been piling up in my mind & on loose scraps scattered around my apartment without any easy place to put them. My main aim with this rebuild is to clear out the clutter and get more of those thoughts & schemes out into the light of day.

Out of town & off the net: Jan 14-19

I can’t even believe I’ll be getting onto an airplane in something like 12 hours. I have to make a sudden, unplanned trip to Detroit tomorrow to attend a funeral on Friday. I’m bringing my laptop, but in all likelihood I’ll be AFK until I’m back in B’ham next Tuesday morning. Ugh.

Micro-updates all this week

YAY! Fall quarter is over. Time to catch up on some stuff that I’ve been putting off due to acute & debilitating academia.

My self-prescription for this week is…

BeyondMetamora.net revamp

I’ve been neglecting my web-presence lately. I’m not particularly busy; I just like to step away from the Internets and their constant crush of information every so often.

Here’s a superficial glaze of the cool & exciting things that happened in the past couple months …

taking an Internet holiday

I’ll be mostly offline the couple weeks, as I prep for the move to my new studio (!). Details once its done.

SPAM!!1!

Currently enduring another wave of inane comment-spam, so I’ve switched the comment system to “approve only”. That basically means you can still post any comment you want, but I have to press a button on my end before it appears on the site. Hopefully my latest spambot will get the hint and wander off.
