The new site! This is it! It is up! It has been sitting in my drawer for, like, forever, and I finally got around to Drupalling it. I spent last night tweaking, uploading, tweaking, uploading, tweaking... and now here it is. All blue and pink. And in my own name, even! Huzzah!

I've been blogging for a million years. Ok, eight years. I'm debating bringing over my archives, because. They're embarrassing. But I might. We'll see.

I also feel weird about having my picture on here. I feel like Oprah. It's so blatantly all me, me, me! On the other hand, it always has been. So this is just a tacit recognition of my standard-issue blogger's ego. In blue! And pink! The site, not my ego. That's kind of a browny-red.

I'll be moving everything over here eventually - setting up the portfolio, past news, resume, articles, that sort of thing. Eventually.

So the question is - now that I'm outed! Outed as a blogger! A dirty, dirty blogger! - how much do I talk about on my blog? I don't really plan to change my writing style, but I think the age-old question we all ask ourselves on a daily basis is this: how much profanity is too much profanity?

By the way, the site's title is from Hamlet. Polonius is pontificating endlessly and Gertrude snaps at him: "More matter, less art." It just strikes me as a refreshingly tart reminder that communication has to have content as well as beauty -- although perhaps it is a hopeless lesson in this sound-byte-driven world.

I don't know how long I'll keep this design - it already kinda hurts my eyes - but now that I've learned Drupal it will be a million times easier to change. So. There.
