I will have photos soon, but those who know me (and have helped move this collection in the past) can begin to form the mental pictures. Here's a clue, though: I'm a former college radio DJ who once harbored the irrational (but far too common) desire to own a personal version of the station's library. The pace of acquisition slowed considerably once I found other ways to occupy my time (see, e.g., the Malt & Barley Chronicles), but the weeding and winnowing has been a slow and arduous process.
And now that I'm moving for the first time in four years, from DC to NYC, with professional assistance that I don't trust, moving the records on my own has become an obsession of painful proportions. On the plus side, I think I've got some reinforcements handy for ye olde Anti-Static podcast in the near future.
The move has been somewhat successful... a few broken links still in place, and a new template to modify and rebuild, but otherwise we should be back in business shortly. Thanks for your patience.
Administriviality time ... we've moved! Yes, the far-flung, loosely-related elements of this publishing empire have new virtual homes. Please update your links and bookmarks accordingly:
Similarly, the RSS/XML feeds have migrated over to Feedburner. If you're finding site this via your favorite newsreader, please update your subscription using the handy links in the "Administrivia" sidebar. Thanks.
[Real content returning soon, but probably not 'til I get back from a whirlwind trip to Seattle (hooray).]
A couple quick notes...
First, my little publishing empire has expanded slightly. I now have a site devoted to the world of malted barley beverages (i.e. beers). Since I find myself sampling more beers than records these days, I suppose it makes some sense, though. Feeds are available for those who prefer to read through aggregation devices/sites.
Second, it's Egg Nog Latte season again. Enjoy this treat responsibly, and make sure to chastise any establishment that dares to use a mutant egg nog Torani syrup... if you're going to splurge, do it up right.
I've owned up to the fact that I have a major perfectionist streak -- it's usually a benefit in my line of work. I'm torn, however, about how much of that should flow through to this site. Is it wrong to want both the immediacy and power of think-post-done AND the precision that only comes through editing and rewriting? Is it right to rewrite moblog posts once they've been published to the world?
Of course, these are mostly just silly thoughts because I'm not motivated to read and comment on Supreme Court opinions right now, nor do I have the patience to annotate and post my photos from Ireland. Grrrrr.
