Tue, 24 Jun 2008The 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.
