			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Much of what I&#8217;ve had up around the web &#8211; all the blogs and galleries, have sat unused for so long, that I have taken them down, some permanently, some temporarily, until I can find them new, simpler homes. </p>
<p>My interest in journal keeping waned, then my interest in blogging. I&#8217;m not a person who has a solid interest in one, two, or even a handful of things. I am more scattered than that, with not much excellence, but a lot of passions. It makes it hard to carry a single, prolific blog, when most modern blogs are topical. </p>
<p>So things die, and other things are born. </p>
<p>The web that has evolved since I started keeping an internet journal in late 2001 has so many interesting, functional services. I am working to incorporate all those that I participate in into this site. It gives a more accurate picture of my surface life, I think, and I like to keep my inner life, well, inner, or within my inner circle, more often than not. The LifeStream plugin is set to send a post daily, and it updates on the &#8220;Full Stream&#8221; page a few times every hour. </p>
<p>The old blog is <a href="http://ambertides.org/oldblog/">still available</a> for a time, but will not be updated. Anything prior to that is sitting on a burned DVD and nowhere else. The mandala site will come back, and perhaps the portfolio, transformed. And maybe I will have full content posts here from time to time, as well, but I don&#8217;t plan on it. </p>
<p>I have felt my internet presence becoming more and more spread out over the years, so having a place to put it all is very exciting to me. <a href="http://friendfeed.com">FriendFeed</a> provides that, but not on my own ground. In a way, it&#8217;s just another way to be spread out. So this seems the best solution to me.</p>
<p>My life is good, simple, clean, and joyful. I think this change expresses that, however temporary all things might be.</p>
