The executive summary of this post goes something like this: If you are trying to launch a service, product or other technologically “innovative” web presence, your idea either has to be absolutely stellar (which I will guarantee to you it isn’t), or you have to rip the covers off your technology and let your users decide how to use it themselves.

More blog neglect, but this time I actually have some interesting things to report.

First of all, in an effort to deal with blog neglect I’ve shifted my usual authoring time to before work rather than after. Afterwards there are simply too many distractions- mental, physical and… ahem… social for me to really get focused on my thoughts and get them down. Whether I can keep it up is anyone’s guess, but for now I’ve got a nice cool morning, a full battery and a patch of sunshine to write in. What else could you want?

This week I made cheese. This is otherwise not something of particular importance that needs to be reported, however it was one of the longest/oldest things on my todo list, and the fact that I’ve actually done it means that I’ve made a significant dent in all the things on that list. Baby steps in reclaiming my free time, as it were, and I’m starting to feel a little more liberated in that regard.
