Miscellaneous

I’m generally not one for things like social bookmarks, but I’ve become intrigued with Ma.gnolia an interesting little social bookmarking tool, and I’m going to try out one of its features. From now until I get bored of it, my five most recent bookmarks are going to be listed at the bottom of the menu bar on the right. I know I haven’t been blogging in quite a while, and that’s mostly because my personal life is still in a state of upheaval and I really haven’t had the time or the motivation, so perhaps this will offer my remaining readers something to look at until I’m sorted out again.

Several months ago I read a book by Sheila Heti, called Ticknor. It was a good book that deserves discussion, and I promise that I have interesting things to say about it. Sadly, a profound crisis in my personal life has turned certain parts of my brain, including the part that feels a deep yearning to, well, blog, to mush. Slowly, but surely, those bits of my brain are solidifying and becoming useful again. This is not to say that the crisis has by any means passed. My coping mechanisms are simply beginning to realize that the problem, though possibly even bigger than it seemed at first, is not completely beyond dealing with. So they are beginning to deal, as it were, with the problem. And no, I won’t tell you what the problem is.

The overhaul/redesign of Vestige is now about 50% complete. The blog is up to date; it also looks and works more or less how it should. The ‘More Vestige.org’ menu on the right hand side will take you the various other sections of this site, but as of this writing none of those sections have been redesigned or reorganized, so they will still look and function like the old site (and some links will not work, an unavoidable consequence of complications relating to migrating from one host to another). Also, hold off on buying tht CD I linked to in the previous entry. They’re cutting the tray cards well past the bleed, so I have to adjust the design.
