As you can probably see, I’ve done some upgrades around here. Most of them were so I can see how it would look at domestic father (evenlake is Blanche to DF’s Baby Jane), but I ended up keeping a few of them. (evenlake gets a snazzy new logo out of the deal.)
I also did some [...]

“Find your obsession.”
Tough words, from Merlin Mann. Tough for me anyway.
I have never been one to obsess about any one thing for very long. This world is far too interesting and life is far too short to devote myself to one tiny sliver of a sliver of it. I learn about one thing, and after [...]

During this change, I decided that I would re-focus my other site, meaning I would ignore all of the expert advice: it would still be user-friendly, but my focus would be on writing, not traffic. No lists, no emphasis on social media, and no linking to the same thing everyone else is. It’s working out [...]

Merlin Mann has several sites, but he is most well-known for 43Folders, a blog about personal productivity. The subject is something I actually find a little loathsome, only because I know people who are into this sort of thing and they spend more time refining their “system” than actually accomplishing anything. (This is a common [...]

I mentioned in my last post that I was changing strategy here. This site has always been, and will continue to be, about my effort to complete the list of things I want to do. It has always been personal; I’ve never tried to publicize it, and I’ve never written for anyone except myself. I’ve [...]

I am doing some pretty serious changes to this site, so bear with me. I’ve upgraded the WordPress version, updated the theme files so they are much easier to keep current with WP.
I’m also revising my strategy here, beyond just technical details. I’ve started using WP tag functionality, so I’ve restructured the categories, and added [...]

In what will hopefully be the last time I switch blog platforms, evenlake is moving. I have tried to make Quick Blogcast work, but I just feel like I’m keeping it together with duct tape.
My new blog, Domestic Father, prompted the change, and it made sense to move both to the new platform. As this [...]
I have started a new website, only a blog for now. Below is what I posted over at Domestic Father yesterday.

I quit my job today.
It was a good job; 6-figure salary, decent benefits, understanding boss, normal hours, co-workers I was friendly with, room for growth, basically everything you could want in a job and a [...]

It is time to stop blogging in two places. GoDaddy has finally allowed
a bit more customization to their Windows hosted blog application, and
I must now make the final step. Though I still like Blogger better, it
is time I embrace my domain name, and stop having other people’s logos
and ads on my website.
So, this is the [...]

I just did some label consolidation, as I realized that my original plan of having a label for each of the 81 items on my list will soon become unwieldy. So, I have reduced the total number to 12.
Though all 12 have not yet been posted to, as time goes by, all will reveal themselves. [...]
