I have not been here for a year and a half, and my, things sure have changed. For instance, Blogger is now apparently part of Google.

I am not really here, though. Just picking up my stuff and updating my forwarding address.

About that: a little while ago I ran into Lindsay Patross, and old friend who is very into the weblogging thing. She told me that she was working on bringing Metblogs to Pittsburgh along with some other people. She was taking care of all the stuff I didn't have any interest in doing, like getting it paid for. I decided to hitch my wagon to that star, and when Metroblogging Pittsburgh came through the internet birth canal (as you might recall, the internet is a "series of tubes") I got back into the weblog game.

The last time I was here I directed people to my MySpace weblog, but screw that. I never updated it because no one ever looked at it, and people without accounts were not allowed to look at it, which is crap. On the Metblogs I can be pretty sure that at least the other people who write there read what I write. Plus, I got to go to the symphony for free.

I will be doing all weblog-type writing there for the time being. Officially only things that are explicitly Pittsburgh-centric are supposed to be written about over there, but I am pushing the envelope on that. If anyone ever pushes back, I might return here.

Until then, bye-bye, Blogger. Your interface is much better than it used to be, but it ain't Movable Type.
