What's New

And we're back ...

I've been running with a white backdrop for years and yeah, it's clean, it's easy-to-read but it's also what nearly everyone is using, so I've switched to black. It sets a different tone and I'm hoping it'll steer things in a different direction for a bit. The old blog is dead ... long live the new blog!

Warren listed last year's blog on his Top Ten Blogs of 2005 list. I'm no Paul Wells, but I know a good poop joke when I see one. Kinsella also has a great read about the media after the election ... which I would link to if he had permalinks ... which he doesn't.

Stats!
I've got stats again! After the annoying WebStats4U pop-up annoyance, I deleted the stats counter and blogged blind for over a month. I'm now using StatCounter, the service Jen recommended and so far, so good. You can scroll down and see my stats any time you want, they're public.

I have also started to cobble together my long-delayed work blog. It's a place for me to write about professional-related activites, post reviews and promote events. Last year I set up a prototype Hot Docs festival blog (I'm moving those posts to the new page) and enjoyed having the second site; the new page is expanding on what happened there. I'm using text ads on that page to try and offset some of my hosting fees ... but this page shall remain ad-free forever!

Lots on the way: I'm going to try and figure out a way to post the old archives runninng back to 2002. And coming up soon: World's Scariest Animal Relationships 2: Arctic Extreme! It's all so bloody exciting.
