Transition

For those of you who check this site and have been asking yourself, "self, where are the updates on this blog?", I have an answer for you.

This thing became a burden. The original plan to do a new thing a day seemed attainable at the beginning of the year, but turns out it's pretty tough. More than that, new things on a weeknight when you have an actual life to attend to makes the whole enterprise a big drag. So. Instead of abandoning the project altogether, I'm switching to one new thing a week. This will allow me to post about more significant new things, I hope, and fewer posts about the new pizza I tried, etc.

This may seem inconsistent, or a letdown from my earlier plan. However, I now see as a matter of fact how impractical it is to come up with a new thing every evening. In the words of John Maynard Keynes, "When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?"

So that's that. I have done many new things since my last post on 15 March, including buying a painting made by an elephant at an auction, getting a temporary bicep band tattoo, learning how to tie a bowtie, and making orzo (which i now love).

In any case, watch this space for new experiences, and thank you for bearing with me as it transitions to a weekly enterprise.
