The view from our window in Brooklyn last Sunday.
We are making merry with the family in snowy Albany, and therefore, this is the last blog post at this address. But never fear; next week a splash page will appear at this URL so you can find us wherever you might want, and you can also check out our photoblog (unimaginatively titled “365 | 2009″), where I’ve started posting pictures and will hopefully post at least one per day in 2009. This blog will be archived and available online, so you can come back and find whatever you might be looking for.
See you around, and a very happy New Year to you.
I have an article published at Comment today, and, as on every Friday, there’s a new edition of The Curator.
I review Doubt and Adam Resurrected in Christianity Today, um, today.
Have you noticed the near-silence on this blog?
That’s because life has been far too busy to actually sit down and write about it. I have lost all motivation to broadcast where we ate for brunch or which random movie director was at last night’s screening, beyond what I “tweet”. Once upon a time, I had a job where there was substantial downtime in which blogging was an appropriate activity, but these days that’s just not the case; of-the-moment stuff ends up on Twitter or Facebook.
Which is to say that I believe the era of this blog (which is an extension of the separate Tom and Alissa blogs of days gone by) is coming to a close, and will be archived for perusal but not updated beginning in 2009.
But never fear! You who have become acquainted with us through our blog, or whom mainly keep up with us through the blog, have myriad ways to keep up with us. We both use Twitter regularly, and if we know you we probably will add you. We both regularly update on Facebook, and we will probably add you even if we don’t know you very well (and we’re happy to make your acquaintance!). I personally also will be blogging at ConversantLife.com, and may be picking back up as a featured blogger at Radiant, and my personal site will feature a new and improved design and a mini-blog for tracking when I publish and those sorts of professional updates. We may be photoblogging from our iPhones, too. Plus I work for, you know, two magazines. And Tom has an IMDB page. In other words, we are easy to find around the ‘net.
So beginning somewhere around December 31 or January 1, a splash page with myriad links will be at this URL, so that you can find us, and you can always just drop us a line. And hopefully that will lead to more meaningful interaction and keep us from spreading ourselves too thin!
Testing the Wordpress iPhone app with photoblogging. This is some blurry snow last night in Brooklyn.
In time for Christmas shopping . . . big sale at the best literary journal around - Image! Back issues for $7 and reduced books. Picked one up for my thesis research!
I came back from Thanksgiving with a sore throat and some other ailments, so I’m home from class today, resting and catching up on an enormous load of work that has piled up despite spending most of Thursday and Friday working. The end of the semester is, well, brutal.
Changes coming to this blog soon, I think.
