This is my first “real” post on the blog since moving to my own domain. Hopefully, you are seeing this because: 1. my subscriber import worked (it was done the old-fashioned way, adding you in using a hand-built import file) and 2. my email is working (this is my first time running email that wasn’t…
Please excuse the mess
I have imported my wordpress.com blog to my own domain here at meanwhileinthefuture.com. Please excuse the mess, I am experimenting with the look and feel. If you have any feedback, you can comment on this post. Thanks!
That worked out nicely
A number of years ago I started this blog and bought the domain meanwhileinthefuture.com. Sadly, I was unable to meaningfully get started with it, and eventually let the domain go. Some time later, I thought about blogging (again) and found that the domain had been bought by some chap who seemed to be using it…
Time to think, time to write
I know now why I shied away from writing a blog for so long. Sometimes, you just don’t have anything in you. I’m a little fascinated by some of the “lifestyle” vloggers that for years will make these cinematic, story-oriented videos week after week. And the stories are… I don’t want to be mean, but…
(De)motivation
It’s been almost 2 months since my last post. I gotta say: most of that time just slipped right by me. August was A MONTH. None of it fun. I would not want to be me right now. I can’t quite pin down what motivated me to post today. The idea has been shuttling back…
Frankensaw
It’s been a busy week for me. This time of year there are lots of things to be done: gardening, maintenance, socializing, as well as overdue house repairs and some other things, so I’ve been offline for a bit. I’ve also been working on a lower-priority workshop project, just for fun. I like working with…
Where do ideas come from?
Last week I posted about not having ideas. And I also posted that I was browsing through old entries in my commonplace book and that’s where I got the idea for that post. And I am still working on how to project (and later retrieve) my thoughts into various apps and note-taking systems, but the…
The No Ideas blog post
I didn’t have a blog idea this week. I thought a little bit of following up on last week, but I don’t really have much new to say on the subject. I was leafing through my notebook, a bit of a “Commonplace Book” but a little more journal-like, and found a note about reading David…
Rethinking The Heap
When it comes to organizing (whether physically or mentally), I’ve always relied on The Heap. The way it works is, when you’re looking for something, you just think back to the last time that you remember it, and it’s about that far deep in the pile. It sounds like it’s the opposite of organization, but…
Unrejectable
A great thing about a blog is that you can’t be rejected. I can write as I want, I can even be dead wrong, and can still hit “Publish.” Most likely, few if anyone will read it but it’s still out there. I hesitate to call myself an author, but… the button is labeled “Publish.”…
