A white flag in ones and zeros
Alright, I give. I'm not going to write on the tech blog anymore. The reasons for that are numbered below, like terms of surrender:
- My life was too fragmented. I was tired of thinking what to write where, instead of just plugging it all into the same place.
- It wasn't fun to write. I like the voice I write with here; the snarky, obnoxious, vaguely-insulting voice. I was basically writing documentation over there, and I do enough of that at work.
- It wasn't reaching its intended audience. I wanted to make it a place where I could convince people who were a'feared of computer to pet their computers and finally be friendly with them. For the kid's sake.
The second bit is that this site might go a little squirrely at some point if I switch blogging platforms. You won't need to change your feeds or bookmarks unless they include the word "blogspot" in the URL, but there may be moments where the site won't come up. It'll be back up eventually, so don't run out into the street in a blind panic, throwing bricks through the first windows you see. Again.

if one were making a list of favorite adverbs, squirrely is up there. like right up there. like on the top of the list.
ps. go listen to Republic Tigers
Yeah, I love the word, Liz. It's so descriptive, and yet, if you think about it, it doesn't make much sense. Squirrels actually seem pretty organized and purposeful.
See, this is why it's best not to think.
Thanks for the recommendation! I definitely will check them out, especially when the rec comes in the form of a command.
I believe that squirrely is a simple adjective, though I could be wrong. If it were an adverb it would describe an action...so it would go something like "The web site could go squirrely," he said squirrelyly. I don't think there is such a word as "squirrelyly", though there certainly should be.
I know all of this not because I am some sort of expert linguist but because we recently discovered we have squirrels living in our attic. True story!
