One of these days I might become good at regularly updating a blog (or anything else for that matter, other than work). I have all these good intentions when the day starts, but by the end of the day, and with the lure of a stack of unfinished video games, a few unfinished stitching projects (not to mention those that I want to start, but I'm trying to finish up the open ones before I do...), and books to read, I find that when I get home from the gym, I don't really want to write more on the computer.
I have, however, had a thought recently, and I may post it here and see how it goes. I was listening to an episode of
TWiT (This Week in Tech, a fabulous podcast hosted by
Leo Laporte) recently, and Leo made a comment to
John C. Dvorak ("
dvorak dot org slash blog") about how because they all work in an audio (and video) format, and things aren't written down, it's easy to forget what you've said. Alas! I'm going to try to do transcripts of each show. I hope to have them up by 1 week after they were originally posted to the iTunes feed, and I'll be adding my commentary to what they've said. We'll see how long I can keep it up, anyway. Or if it ever gets noticed.
I'm going to try to post here more regularly...with goings on at the gym, stitching, video games, well, really, whatever.
In the meantime, if you need/want some interesting reading, check these out:
Wincing at Light (a blog recently started by a fellow
FOFC'er who is using it to share his writing with the world--he's writing a novel and posting chapters up, along with other random musings)
Sword and Laser, a social network/forum/thing I first heard about on TWiT. It's basically an online sci-fi and fantasy book club. They're currently reading Pullman's "
Golden Compass," which I read last year, and on the 19th they'll be starting "
Ender's Game." I'm using my common moniker, "terpkristin," over there.
