Possible Merge Ahead; Things You May Have Missed
Hello, dear reader(s)! I have been quiet here lately, but noisy elsewhere. I've been chatting it up over at my blog on Vox. So if you are reading this in RSS land, here is the feed you should add to your reader:

and for all you old-fashioned click-and-link browser types:

http://mikepop.vox.com/

Besides rambling on, I have even made a couple of things that may contain traces of amusement:

The Little Katamari Prince The seemingly-obvious (but I didn't see it anywhere else) Little Prince / Katamari Damacy mashup

And, the Web 2.0 / bike sticker mashup, that you can actually order and hold in your hands (or, stick to your bike/car):

bikr stickr

I forget what we used to call these things before "mashups", but obviously mashup is the more fun term, so it has taken over.

I'm considering making the Vox blog my main blog, and archiving this one. On the plus side, it is just easier to blog there - uploading and including pics, sounds, even books/movies/albums to reference in posts is trivial - so I blog there more often. I can also post from my cameraphone easily. There are privacy levels, so in case strangers ever start reading my blog I can hide embaressing pictures from them. There is a sense of community among all users, for now. I suspect this will fade as more people sign on. They have a "Question of the Day" feature that can kick-start your brain if you can't come up with anything to write about, and it prompts stories that might otherwise not be told (I don't think I would have thought to share the time I was mistaken for Andy Dick otherwise). On the minus side, I lose the complete control over the backend I have here. There will probably be ads displayed or something. And, I lose continuity, unless I can import all these old entries. But, a clean break now and then is a good thing.

So that's what I am pondering. Keep an eye on the other blog in the meantime while I continue experimenting.
