It’s like riding a bike

So, its been … a long long long time since I’ve posted.

I offer no excuses.  I’ll provide no reasons.  I have plenty of reasons of course (I wont be so bold as to consider them ‘excuses’), but in the end they’re not important.  Those of you who have followed me over the years know that I go through periods where I just don’t want to blog … such is life as David Meade, I suppose.  Although this has been somewhat bothersome to me from time to time (in the ‘ah man, I gotta get back to blogging’ sense),  I never let it bother me too much – after all, it is in line with my usual stance that (on davidmeade.com anyway) blogging for the sake of blogging usually just does a disservice to everyone involved.

When I had something worth posting, I thought, that would inspire me to post again … and until then I’d spare everyone – myself included – the ‘words for words sake’ in their RSS feeds that arbitrary posting schedules can otherwise inspire.

That being said, this past drought has been particularly long … really long.

So long , as a matter of fact that when I finally got inspired to revamp my site design and move to a better hosting company I couldn’t stand seeing posts SO old on my new shiny site.  So I’ve altered the front page of DavidMeade.com to only show posts from the current … *ahem* … year, and relegated all the older stuff purely to the archives.

Don’t worry, (cause I know you would have), all the old stuff is still here, it’s just not on the front page anymore.  Use the Archive links and the search feature to find those old posts and videos you love oh so much.  If you can’t find something you’re looking for drop me a line and I’ll send you a link.

So here we are on a new shiny DavidMeade.com with one sparkling post on the front page.  Does this mean I’m back to posting regularly … perhaps … perhaps not.  All I can tell you right now, is I’ve felt more engaged in blogging and other ‘new media’ lately than I have been in a while.  Not quite back to the degree I was at when I was traveling the country to attend this conference, or that get-together … but that’s ok.  It is what it is.

Also, I’ve been researching various (unrelated) things lately that have increasingly commanded my interest over the past few years and that may inspire a blog post here or there … or it may not.

In any case, I thought it was about time I blew the dust of the mic, and gave a shout out on the interwebs again … it’s been a long long time.

It’s good to be back.
