I have been thinking in a similar vein lately, and Dave has hit the nail on the head. Unfortunately, I contracted an intestinal virus two weeks ago that has been nagging me and keeping me from writing anything. If you don’t subscribe to Dave’s blog, you should. He is wicked smart.

A Return to Spirited Blather

However, I’ve been sitting on this for months and have come to the conclusion today that it’s more important to just start the conversation flowing again. And so, this post marks the first of that; I’ll sort out everything else out as the external need arises.

I’m coining a personal principle: if given the freedom to choose between organizing and making stuff, don’t let the allure of organization get in the way of making. I really should organize a lot of things here, but I am going to have to call down external pressures from heavens to make things happen. Being a person who is activated by the immediate needs and circumstances of other people, it’s important then that I create the means for which those other people can make their needs known. And maybe that will be easier if I resume the conversational blogging model I had years ago. We shall see.

Oh, and BTW, I am done tweeking this site for a while. I need to spend more time making cool stuff and less time worrying about keywords…
