It's a Kinda New Blog

I am a tinkerer.

I can't help but try to pick at, and play with things until I get them just right. And once they are just right, then I can leave them alone for only about five minutes before I start tinkering again.

Such is the case with my blog. I just can't stop tinkering. I can't leave it alone for more than a few months.



It’s a blessing, and a curse.

But that's what makes Squarespace so cool.

This weekend I switched over from Wordpress to Squarespace. If you don't know anything about blog publishing platforms, don't worry - I'll save that for a "Tech Tip Tuesday."

The main reason I switched is that Squarespace has grown up in the last year or so, and gives me all kinds of flexibility that I won't bore you with now. But I can do cool stuff, like make quote blocks.



Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.

I can also easily format the page blocks to have a beautiful, modern, magazine layout. It's amazing what's possible. 

It also will make all of you folks who read things on your phones and other devices a little happier, since it automatically formats everything I write into a beautiful mobile website.

Just so you know, everything that was on the old blog has moved here. There will be a few more changes and additions that come in the next few weeks.

In the meantime, let me know what you think.
