Welcome, brave new blog world

I kinda told somebody about this the other day. So now I'm slightly more motivated to do some sprucing up around here. I mean, it's gotten to be kind of a mess. All these blogs testing different things. Versions, upon versions of this concept. This whole web thing has been going on quite a while (there's a blog-like thing from 1998 hanging around). But fear not, dear reader, this space is about to get simpler and easier to follow.
I'm going to consolidate everything right here, so if you want to bookmark a page or subscribe to a feed, this is the one. This is where new stuff will show up. That search box will find you anything you need.

So "new g" wrote about the future of news. (old g, sorry I recycled your nickname.) Turns out a bunch of people in my office were watching this series. Why confine that discussion to a cubicle farm? The internet is supposed to be good at this conversation thing. So I'm going to try to link more. Maybe I'll even comment more on other people's blogs. (Yes Woods, I'm reading. I just don't say so.)
Oh, and my thoughts about the future of news? There's no one source for anyone anymore. People don't rely on one paper, tv station or web site. So, media, find your niche. And be relentlessly useful.

If you didn't follow the links in that first paragraph, I wasn't kidding when I said I had eight blogs. Turned out I miscounted:
- one on .mac (seemed like a good idea at the time)
- a quick text blog
- a photo blog
- a sports blog
- one on fortune cookies that was funny at the time
- the blogger version of the quick text blog
- an older blogger version of the quick text blog
- the pre-blogger version of the quick text blog

Holy moly, Jon! You should have been the cover boy for this week's story on local bloggers!
It's been nine days since you posted this and I've only just now finished reading all of your blogs and linking through all of your links.
I need to work on my game.

And here's why I wasn't: It's been nine days since I posted anything. I gotta work on my game too.
