Transformations: Bringing this blog out of hibernation
I’ve been stuck in a technology/applications posting rut. Although that stuff does fascinate me to an extent, I just don’t have the passion for it to write about it more than once a month (apparently).
So I’m going back to my roots on this blog and figuring out where that takes me. Interviews and social media will probably spring up more often.
I’ve been exploring community, not as in place or neighborhood but in regard to interpersonal bonds that form around interaction in groups leading to shared experiences and drives. There’s an academic side to it all that I’ve been burying my head in as I suss out my dissertation—but there’s also a practical side that involves some of the most vivid people I’ve ever met. It’s those people and those groups that I want to refocus on.
Why do I have that silly photo of Emilita Bambina in this entry? Because I want to look like that when I’m updating this site ... she’s my inspiration.
