New personal blog!
I've got a new blog, Sophtopia. It's on Blogger, and it'll be for personal, gossipy, social stuff. I'll keep Finding Sophrosyne here focused as it's been on Salon news and the occasional think-piece.
Yes, I'll be using LiveJournal for blogging and Blogger for social networking. I know it looks backwards, but -
I'm not paying LJ's new corporate owners $20/year for the same functionality I can for free from any number of other services. There's virtually no overlap between the SL and LJ communities, so there's no reason at all for me to pay for another blog here. OTOH, I have a year's worth of musings about Digital Personhood and Salon info here, so it seems wise to take advantage of continuity, and keep building on those things in this blog.
I'd like to separate the personal from the business and political. It's felt odd to mix the social blogging I started with here on LJ with the politics, philosophy and marketing that this blog's become filled with, and so I've stopped blogging about my life. I want to go back to social blogging, to remind myself - and others! - that I'm not a disembodied radical activist crank mind, and to celebrate the family, friends and community that are the true foundation of meaning and of joy in my life.
So, friends and family, come seek me out on Sophtopia!
