At least for the time being, I am giving up having a custom design for my blog/site. It’s simply too time consuming, especially when I have to consider backward compatibility with all of the content I’ve created since not only its creation, but my creation as well. So, I am opting for a basic, out of the box theme that I won’t have to worry about updating or tweaking as the underlying publishing software evolves.
But that’s where my giving up ends. I have been living in Japan for the past 6 months, and amid all the craziness and difficulty of settling in, have already amassed a gigantic pile of things worth sharing; a lot of which has already been shared between my presences on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Since much of that is piecemeal and posted one at a time as they happen, there is very little context or organization to it.
I’ll be uploading things to this blog as I have time, including a refined, simplified portfolio, which is as yet unpublished. Not that I’m actively seeking design work, but if some should come along, I do plan to share what little talent I have publicly.
Otherwise, beyond the banalities of my daily life, it feels like there should be a greater opportunity to share things with those who can’t be here in Japan to experience them firsthand. I’m open to suggestion as to what that could be, and until I find a decent groove, my posts will likely be random in nature.
That’s it for now, time for a private English lesson!
