Back to Blogging

My Only HopeI stopped posting to this blog some time ago and started shooting my thoughts in other directions. Since then, I created a Vox blog (I didn’t do much with it. I like how easy it easy to embed media but it’s a closed platform, and I just wasn’t very inspired to post much there), a tumblelog on Tumblr (awesome. everyone I know should have one), and started Twittering.

So I’ve been doing quite a bit of lots of things. My “web presence” has essentially splintered into smaller streams. Which is great, since it has encouraged me to post more. But I’ve started to miss writing a more traditional blog. Every once in a while I feel like writing a longer form post about something, and this seems like the best way to do it.

I’ve moved to a new host and gone from Blogger to Wordpress and MarsEdit. A quick redesign is also in place, as you can see. It’s nothing drastic. I’m still working from a template here, but it’s an improvement. I’ve moved most of the posts I felt were worth keeping (about half) from Blogger and Vox manually, one-by-one. I should have it fully up to date soon. The comments were unfortunately lost.

I’ll be posting here about music, movies, tv shows, books, art, the internet, and other things I’m interested in with some frequency I hope. And then I’ve got feeds from Twitter and from my tumblelog in the sidebar, along with photos from my Flickr stream and recently listened records via Last.fm. If I was really lame, I’d probably call this blog “Everything Jeff” or “Jeff World.”

That’s what this all is, for better or worse: different levels of me. See, in my tumblelog, I’ll post links and embedded videos and stuff–very short and to the point. With that mini blog, you’ll typically see multiple posts a day and without much commentary. And then there’s Twitter, which is basically all commentary (albeit of the random, on-the-spot variety). And then there’s this blog, for the longer and theoretically more thought-out stuff. [Notice I said “theoretically”.]

How much do I care? What do I want to know about this creep? These are questions you should be asking yourself when deciding which feeds to subscribe to.
