[Previous entry: "Sweet nothing"] [Next entry: "As the World Burns"]

I spent the morning re-tooling the site, including a new title. For those that don't know, the title is from Wittgenstein, On Certainty s. 141.

I have been resistant to changing the title because I get so many hits from angsty youths typing "fuck the world" into google. However, I believe the time has come to start acting my age and re-forming this site to be in line with the changes under which I am undergoing personally. As I emerge from my three year 'prison' sentence, so too must the forum in which I communicate also re-emerge changed.

A little history for those newcomers: I began this little thing in 1996, when my HTML skillz had not yet been honed. I was "blogging" before there was a name for it. Back then it was called "All that's fit to shit," which--for those of you in the know--is a pun on the motto of the New York Times, "All the news that's fit to print." (I thought it was very witty when I was 18.) At the time it was a frames-based layout, and I hand coded every entry. Greymatter makes life easier, but the intent has always been the same: a little catharsis, in a semi-public forum in my little corner of the information super-highway, from which to pontificate and wax philosophical. Screaming at the nothingness, like a modern day Oedipus (minus the eye-gouging). This site gone through many incarnations--always at the same web address--and I have been planning version 4.0 this summer, which would involve lightening up the title, as well as the look and feel. Those that are interested in history can browse version 2.0 of this site, which spanned from 6/2001 to 11/2004. Warning: the views expressed there are (mostly) no longer those of the management.

This is the first few steps in several planned changes that this site will undergo over the next few months. Keep checking back, and pardon our dust.
