The test is over
It's time to accept the obvious... this is a dead blog.

I started this site about five years ago, around the time of our invsaion in Iraq, actually, and around the time that I started to take an interest in political blogs. Since then I worked at a library and a used bookstore, went to grad school to study library science and information science, studied those same political blogs that compelled me to start one myself, and blogged the entire process. I started work at Media Matters, went through a divorce, learned to live on my own, and... well... here I am.

The issue is that I'm now at a point where if I am going to do something like maintain a blog, I want to do it right. At the moment, I'm not posting to it and when I do it's mostly for the benefit of folks who I actually keep in contact with via Facebook and Flickr. I may start blogging again but it would be a new project, with a different focus, and likely under a different name. Time to move on.

This has been Sampo: The Journal of Abundant Media.
Thanks for playing.
