conflux
don't call it a comeback, i've been here for years.
/me taps microphone.is this thing on?
i think it's time to make some changes around here. after 6 years or so of having "conflux" serve as my personal meme tracker, i think it's time to try something new. or, rather, something old. you'll probably find some things similar to what you may have found here before, well, you know. maybe some original writing. maybe some photos of stuff other than the always amazing odin.
sorry if you've been patiently waiting for the tried and true conflux format to come back. a lot has changed in past 6 years and it's time to move on and do something new.
stay tuned!

“"You're not a designer, you're not a writer, and you're not an editor!"
Well, no, blogger, you're not. And therein lies your gift. Because even if it's true the vast majority of blogs would not be missed by more than a handful of people were the earth to open up and swallow them, and even if the best are still no substitute for the sustained attention of literary or journalistic works, it's also true that sustained attention is not what Web logs are about anyway. At their most interesting they embody something that exceeds attention, and transforms it: They are constructed from and pay implicit tribute to a peculiarly contemporary sort of wonder.
...[T]he Web log reflects our own attempts to assimilate the glut of immaterial data loosed upon us by the "discovery" of the networked world. And there are surely lessons for us in the parallel. For just as the cabinet of wonders took centuries to evolve into the more orderly, logically crystalline museum, so it may be a while before the chaos of the Web submits to any very tidy scheme of organization.”
