This Blog is Now Closed

It has been a wonderful time recording thoughts, commenting on other things that I have read, and thinking out loud on the canvas of the internet. This particular blog was started in 2003, but it is actually a continuation of another blog that I have kept from graduate school. With the audience moved to social networking, and with Google Plus allowing long posts with photographs, the blog format by small independent writers have outlasted its usefulness.

With nostalgia, I am closing this blog. From the days of .plan when you "ping" my account, to blogs on the school intranet, to a blog on the big wide open internet, I have written and thought about a rich variety of topics. New thoughts, however, will now be housed in the structured format of the social networking. For now, I will maintain my photo site, but who knows how much longer that will last.

Thank you to all of my readers for staying with me. God bless, and I hope to see you on Plus.

Frankly, I'll miss the blog. I haven't written as much as my heyday in the early 2000s but I'll probably keep it going to have one point of reference for longer thoughts I want multiple circles to read (now that I know I have friends who only see Fb, some only on plus, and some who are avoiding all social networking who still subscribe to the blog. See you on Plus then!

I agree with Bob. At the same time I've also noticed that I'm unable to write in great extent as I used to. Perhaps this is the direction our brains are atrophying, 140chars (more now!) at a time.
