Beginnings....?

It's been a long time since I looked at the contents of this blog, much less posted to it or published it.

My personal site remains chrismaytag,net, but I've chosen to resume using my now more-than-a-decade-old domain 'tangled.org' to publish things to

For now, all of the old entries are here. I don't know yet about the comments, which is a shame, because much of my favorite stuff that happened in the old blog took place in the comments. I had regular readers who were actively commenting on my posts, and with whom I had great conversations, both through comments and email.

I'll see what I can do about making sure that old comments are restored...or I will remove all posts prior to this one and treat this as a new blog entirely, as its purpose, my life, and my reason for writing again have all changed since the blog's inception.

Suffice to say that entries will be sporadic, and that I have no specific agenda in resuming my writing other than to have a place to write.

For my photographs, please visit Flickr , and keep in mind that I recently lost several gigabytes of my best photographic work due to a rare, rather dramatic and seemingly permanent RAID 0+1 array failure. What's on Flickr is what's left, and it's not my best work.

I am also moving from windows to all Macs - laptops and desktop, everything. I'm tired of Windows.

We'll see what happens here. It may fizzle again...which would be fine. But in the early days of blogging, when tangled.org had its greatest readership, there were thousands of individual readers per day, which, at the time, was pretty impressive for a non tecno-illuminati blog.

But for now, it makes sense to make things easy for me to have a place to write.
