Here is one of the main reasons I decided to rebuild my site with ExpressionEngine: this new framework now allows me to publish entries that are primarily pictorial.

Illuminating and typically well-executed DHTML timeline. Sigh. It seems like just yesterday that Big Brother was just a lil’ bro’, crawling the Web on all fours.

Greatly Exaggerated

Here’s what happens sometimes: you try your hand at blogging. You get kind of good at it and get on a roll for, oh, six or seven years. You start getting more enterprising with your blogging, maybe even launching a second or third blog, and you start to upgrade your blog software, with plans to make everything faster, better. It all looks like it’s going to be great. You’re unstoppable.

Then you get incredibly busy at work. Ridiculously busy. And then maybe you meet a really awesome new person, and you rearrange most all of the priorities governing your free time. And then you and your new girlfriend even decide to shack up, get an awesome new place and make a happy little home together. Then you spend several weekends in a row packing, then moving, then unpacking and setting up the new apartment and making runs to Ikea and Home Depot.
