Hi there, lonesome blogspotters. When I started this blog in 2002, blogging was a hot new publishing option, and Blogger by Google was one of the hot new venues for those creations. So I started writing about stuff that was in my head at the moment and kept it up for a number of years, though with some long lapses. As a matter of course, mt_space became a chronicle of some of the most important changes in my life, the major one being my break with theism in general and with the CS belief system and institutions in particular. A perusal of these posts shows that it was a time of great stirring and some might say trauma.My interests always included politics, technology, and (real) science, as well as events in my life and the lives of friends. Though I wasn't as faithful a blogger as I was told I should be, I didn't mind because I knew hardly anyone was interested in keeping up with my thoughts. So it became a somewhat safe nook on the Web to vent. Plodding along this way, I managed to go fourteen years without noticing that not only had I changed, but the blogosphere had also changed.
I got invited by a friend to participate in a blog she was setting up. It was on Tumblr. I asked, why Tumblr, and she replied it was the hip new blogging venue that came with a larger potential audience. This made me think about whether I want a larger audience. It was nice having a semi-private room to noodle and doodle about things in the space that is my consciousness. On the other hand, why not try something new? And if it gets too rowdy, I can always crawl back to the boonies of Blogger and indulge in semi-private writing.
I haven't yet been able to get the 450 entries of this blog to transfer to Tumblr so until I do, I'll just continue there.
I've also moved my collection of poetry from Blogger to Tumblr
