Life after LiveJournal..
May 7, 2008
I feel like I’m living life on my own terms again.. out from under an oppressive yoke, a bird leaving the nest for the first time, like an abused woman leaving the shelter, an ex-con leaving the half-way house, an American leaving for Canada during 2002 Bush-mania..
Well, you get the idea. ; ) Anyway, after much procrastinating, I’m finally off LJ. It’s only really a milestone in that I’ve been a member of that site since 1999.. the pre-myspace internet. On the other hand, I’m hardly a dedicated blogger, so why even bother switching?
Well, I think two companies giving up on that site is a signal that it might be kind of a sinking ship.. and to sell it to a russian company, whose parent country isn’t known for it’s buisness ethics right now, is a little suspect, to me.
So we’ll see how this site works out. It comes recommended by Rob, who I consider a blog guru, and already I must say it “feels” a lot more progressive.
So yeah, I definitely feel I should document last weekend, so that’ll be my first “real post” and we’ll see how it goes after that…

Werd, glad to see you’ve made it to the new world safely.
The biggest hassle in moving from LiveJournal is their export process is by month only. If you post even once a month, you can see how manual a task it is.
Now we just gotta get you a domain name of your own, so your blog has a real home instead of a wordpress.com URL.
Thought I’d say hi.
