PLEASE READ: A New Beginning
Hello, there.
First things first: If you read this site with an RSS reader like Google Reader or Bloglines, please resubscribe to this feed. I've switched blog software and Blogger doesn't generate all the same feed files my old MovableType install used to. I am manually putting this entry in all those old feeds, but from now on, if you don't fix up your subscription, you may stop getting updates. So go ahead and do that now, and save yourself the loneliness later.
If you're not just using an RSS reader to view this, you might notice this blog doesn't look like it used to. I finally bit the bullet and ditched my old MovableType blog, which had all sorts of problems, was long in the tooth and took more maintenance than I had time for. Now, I'm publishing to this site using Blogger, which is substantially less flexible, but at the same time far less of a headache. So far, it seems to be going well. I like the new aesthetic, and hopefully it'll be easier to post comments now.
I am preserving the old blog, frozen, at this address so that information remains accessible, especially the longer articles like the stuff about the climbing wall or the Buddhism or the ones that got longer-term traffic. Hopefully Google will quickly index that new location and that stuff will be easy to find.
In the future, I'm going to be posting largely in one of four main categories, which you see above in the banner. I noticed my posts tended to fall into categories: the psychoanalysis-related, / Buddhism-related / book-review / journaling kind of entries, the recipe / restaurant review / cooking insight kind, and the sports / physical activity / griping-about-my-bad-joints entries. So I gave each of those its own category, which you can easily access along the top, there.
Furthermore, I've recently taken up gardening, building some vegetable gardens in my back yard, and I anticipate I'll have a reasonable amount to say on that. Hopefully it'll mostly be positive, great insights I have into why my garden is so successful, but realistically I'm sure there'll be plenty of bewildered posts about the veggies that don't do so well, too. I'm hoping people who know something about gardening will occasionally drop some wisdom in there.
That's about it. Let me know what you think of the new layout and look. I've tried to keep it deliberately minimal, so the archives and previous posts are down at the bottom. If you need to find something specific, try using that search text field in the banner up top; it should be able to help you out.

I've gotta say, I actually kinda dig the fact that Blue and Orange is no longer blue and orange :)
Yeah, I preserve the color in the entry titles and the link colors, but it's subtle.
I figure after this many years, I don't need to let my domain name constrain my color scheme. Even if that domain name is "blue and orange."
nice new look Brian!
