Updatin’

I’ve been going through my old links, shining them up and stacking them on the side over there. The list is a lot smaller than it used to be. I decided that I wouldn’t bring over any links to sites that haven’t been updated in 2010. That left a lot of people out, but I’m sure they don’t mind. All of the old links, living and dead, are still on the abandoned Blogger site, if anyone’s curious as to who has been phased out.

If you were phased out and would like to be relinked, just leave a comment.

I still need to go through the art site links, and then I’ll move on to my archive. My goal is to categorize as much as possible and weed out the especially crappy posts. Turn it into the lean, mean, nonsense machine that I always knew it could be. I know some of the old posts that might actually have been deemed good have lost their images, and unless I can find them parked on my computer somewhere, they’ll be purged too.

What’s new in my life? A whole lot of not-that-great, but one thing I’ve done is join up with a local ToastMasters group in an effort to conquer my paralyzing fear of public speaking. It’s something I really want – no, NEED – to do. If I can either rid myself of the fear, or learn to work through it, I feel it could open a lot of opportunities that are currently too stupid to consider. Like trying my hand at stand-up comedy, or as a street corner doomsday prophet. It’s pretty hard to stand on a corner and shout at hundreds of strangers that their end is neigh when you’re afraid to speak. 2012 isn’t that far away. It’s one goal I really should try to make. I missed out on the Y2K fun, and this could very well be my last chance. I probably should also start growing out my beard so it’s at least long enough to hold twigs. It’s good to have goals.
