So, no doubt you will notice that there’s been a real lapse in postings here. I know, I know, a blog is supposed to be a daily commitment (ah… men, and their committment issues…); I promise to be more, uhm, faithful.

I’m also trying to be better about Montyland (http:www.montyland.net), where I’m re-launching the content with my own design (based on a great open-source CSS template by Andreas Vulkind (http://andreasviklund.com/). I’ve decided that iWeb, while a fine product (if all you want to do is construct a simple page and sync it with .mac), really doesn’t lend itself to frequent updates – and what’s the use of creating web content if it’s not current?!

Speaking of web updates, I did a little tweaking and rebuilding for my friend, Joseph Weinberg’s site, Teaching Sexual Ethics (http://www.teachingsexualethics.org) – be sure to drop by and visit.

And stay tuned here – Montyland Productions, your one-stop shop for affordable, freelance media and communications consulting – will be launching soon…

In other matters – I’ve been doing a lot of house cleaning lately, and I need to tip my hat to Zen Habits (http://www.zenhabits.net) a great site with tons of tips about pairing-down and simplifying your life. I’ve set up a master list for my life (five items only) which has helped me focus my time and work habits; I’ve also begun clearing out the deadwood (so to speak) from front to back in my apartment; I’ve got a huge pile that will be St. Vinney’s or Goodwill’s in the next twenty-four hours or so.

Deep breaths…
