Bought the new domain, configured webfaction to run a wordpress app on it.
Reasoning for name change: An old boss and friend of mine, who I greatly admired, would often refer to young men who didn’t have their shit together as “dilettantes”. I should add that, when compared to someone as accomplished as he, many of us might be considered dilettantes.
Recently, while I was between jobs, it occurred to me that I’ve learned a lot about many different things. But not enough about any one thing to be great at it. And to be able to get paid to do it. At that point I realized I’d become rather proficient at learning about something, doing it as a profession for a bit, then moving on to learn something else. Just sort of going where the road takes me. Hence, the new blog name.
No change in content. Same youtube videos, late night rants about adult swim’s brilliance, random irreverent commentary, and nerdy programming stuff one would expect the pedantic lexiphanes I’ve become.
Yes, I’m a massive tool. Yes, I know no one reads this stuff. It would indeed seem that I pretty much write for myself, wouldn’t it. I figure in the year 2030 or something people will refer to their blogs as scrap books and photo albums of sorts. Records of life and such. Of course, given the world is likely to be drastically different by then and perhaps dare I say, without internet, you gotta back that shit up if you don’t wanna lose it!
