Brightwind: Meditations 

Meditations on a Life in Progress

More New Directions

This last month and a half have reordered so many things in my life. I hope you will pardon my absence. Some people say that change is hard, and while that’s true, I feel that my particular changes this time are very good indeed.

I would rather not say directly what all the changes in my life have been, yet. You’ll know that soon enough anyway. It will affect this website, but as to exactly how, I’d like to let that be a surprise for later.

The one thing I should say now is that I’m planning to go back to America for an extended trip of more than a year. I’m currently getting ready to go now, and I expect I should be there in about a month. During my first month or two in the States, I plan to dedicate a significant amount of time to making this site work the way I want it to. Then during the months after that, I hope to mainly just write new content for it, without working too much on the underlying code.

I like surprises, so I’m going to let you wonder for a while what Brightwind will become. I myself am eager to discover more about that as I go, anyway. I may end up even more surprised than you! Whatever happens to me in my life, and however Brightwind evolves as a website, getting there will be a gradual journey, so I hope that you’ll be patient with me as I work at it. Thank you for being here all this time so far!

A flash animation about where your meat comes from.

Surfing
