No idea how to carve your pumpkin from this template? Watch the video below!

Just a brief note that I’m shutting this blog soon. I’m rolling a couple of bits of my work and my general online life into one and have that be the ONE site. Makes a lot more sense than the cluttered crap that it is now. With bits astray all over the web, articles on Newsvine, comments on Tumblr, rants on Twitter, showcase on Flickr and Facebook and no central place…So next time your feed pings it’ll have the new feed URL and from then on out will re-direct to the new one.  

Heath Ledger’s sudden passing brought up something again today that I’ve been pondering for the last few days. Death.

When an actor or musician dies we have this vast recollection of things they leave behind. Posters, DVDs in stores and rentals, worn shirts.

When an online person dies what is left? The memories we have of them? Is their legacy fading with the final bill of their hosting company that is returned unpaid?

If we solely rely on Google’s cache to preserve our legacy, are we betting on oblivion?
I believe every person has a story worth preserving and for others to learn from. Some tragic, some humorous, inspiring, frightening, relatable.

How should we deal with this volatility of memory? Is there like a real “Terraserver” where we can just have something in our will that’ll transfer it over?

With all the money our governments extort from us (which I never agreed to in the first place) it should be possible to have at least one of these. Better than spending all the money to invade each other’s countries which becomes redundant after a while. Or in Germany’s case specifically, Mrs. Merkel you don’t need to raise your wages twice a year. Eat less old hen, you’re fat enough.

OK and it had to happen too. The old design which is still lingering on the server for a bit was getting really old. I mean, hey this site stood for something I stopped doing like 5 years ago and never caught on as my main work.

So here’s the full reboot.

What will this be? I don’t know. How about just come abort and enjoy the ride?
