When I started this blog, it was going to be something to help me learn HTML and keep me motivated to work on various edifying activities. Even with the long gaps in posting (last entry July 28...), I think it succeeded in that, for the most part.

There's not a whole lot to add about what filled out the rest of the summer; it was more of the same, and some of the different (first trip to Cape Cod, other assorted excitements). School technically started three weeks ago, although real classes and so on have only been on for half that. Classes have been great (thanks for asking), and my work as a research assistant with Project New Media Literacies has been engaging.

So, this isn't intended to be a post-mortem analysis of how well I did what I set out to do in my first post, but rather a change of gears. Grad school is astronomically more work than bumming around for the summer with a blog, so it is possible that post volume might go down, if that were even possible. However! Thanks to all the work I'm doing, I'll have more frequent things to share, including blog posts written for other blogs (they should have looked into my blogging track record before asking me), and various reflections and announcements related to my busy and soon-to-be-more-busy life.

I need to sit down and figure out what I want this space to be, and that should hopefully happen soon enough for me to start yakking about all the wonderful things (and presumably some less than wonderful things) that the school year brings. At the very least, I'll clean up the dead links and broken formatting in the sidebar and maybe even toss in a CSS redesign (which will be refreshed as a result of our Workshop class, where we will learn such things as Processing and CSS and Final Cut Express).

That's it for now, stay tuned for more exciting tidbits, hopefully.
