You’ll be seeing a few changes to the site over the next few… uh… weeks? Months?

It’s been sort of long-neglected, for a handful of reasons, which I’ve already gone over in the past but which include: Being just incredibly busy with work and personal projects and trying to squeeze in some time occasionally to relax and hang out with friends; being burned out on politics and religion and kind of crushed by the futility of screaming against certain brick walls until they’re painted in the blood I’ve been coughing up; being generally depressed and lonely (until relatively recently, for some reason, and I think it has to do with feelings of fulfillment from the aforementioned personal projects, or maybe some other psychological thing is going on).

Now that I’m feeling a bit better and realizing once again that I don’t necessarily need to have all my content in the form of giant, well-reasoned essays, I’m going to try to put up at least one update a week.

But that’s beside the point.

The point is, there’s going to be a bit of a repurposing and redesign going on here. The redesign is mostly going to be a visual thing — at least when viewed from the front — but it’s going to simplify the layout a bit. I’m a fan of minimalism, and, well, if you look at that menu over on the left, that’s pretty far from minimalism. Too many categories and too much shit. Behind the scenes, I’m going to be building some interesting new shit. The way Dissections work will change, hopefully resulting in more frequent updates to those.

As for the repurposing, this site’s going to become sort of an aggregator for all the things I’m doing, pulling in content from my other sites and from my Twitter feed and etc, which will result in far, far, FAR more frequent updates. You’ll also get previews and information for things like iPhone apps I’ve just recently started developing, other projects and content I’ve been working on, a photo stream, a better way of serializing novels… and all of this with a simplified, intuitive interface that’s not like this huge list of semi-redundant shit and poorly-thought categorization. This site’s been kind of a beast (which, I guess, lives up to the “Jabberwock” name), which also contributed a little to my avoidance of it, but its rebirth is going to be great.

For right now, I have a few technical decisions I need to make, but you can expect the changes to begin within the next month or so. Especially the visual redesign, which is already underway.

Stay tuned!
