I am taking a hiatus for the remainder of the summer to finish some hulking, be-fanged programming projects. Once those are complete, I am going to “take off the training wheels” on erelevant–redesign and revision it around a broader central theme. It will be less personal, less inflammatory and more topical and content-oriented. See you in the Fall!
[…] The best way for me to innovate and enjoy what I do is to go native. Time to slip into the digital tribe and move among its peoples—virtual, 3D hands brushing in the darkness of social networked second lives, a million onymous youth dancing hyper-textualy into the night, the thrumming of drum and bass shared via mapped music genomes, and the twinkling glow of liquid-crystal-pixels offering up the entire geo-positioned world like an altar to a social, multi-cultural, semantic, hive-minded, Mercurial GOD.

When Time magazine named “You” as its person of the year in 2006, it was a ham-handed attempt to salute “user-generated content” as the driving force behind Web 2.0.

A lot of things happened, not all of them good :( My son turned two-years-old with all the wonder and terror that involves. I finished my redesign and programming of a new content management system for WWC, and that pretty well burned me out. It took a year or so to come to the realization that I didn’t have to blog solely about my job on erelevant while still maintaining a good “public face” etc. Thinking of how and what erelevant could be got me excited enough to come back to it.
And in the meantime you’ve had nearly a full year at Yale!
