Messin' with the Sidebar
If you've noticed the changes in the right column of this blog, then I feel very, very sorry for you, as you obviously have no life.
But unless I have an OCD detective named Monk as a regular reader, I don't expect that anyone has noticed that I've reduced the number of blogrolls to three. I've eliminated The Office and The Serendipitous Finds.
I booted the former -- which were all tech- and design-related blogs and blog-like creatures -- because I've moved all of those links to my RSS news aggregator. None of them were linking to the Gazette so I didn't feel bad about dropping them from a blog etiquette perspective.
The latter category was a crutch for new blogs that I was too lazy to categorize. I deleted a couple of links that were in this category, but most of them were simply moved into one of the three remaining groups.
I've also decided that my archive category entitled "Tech" is too broad, so I'm going to create a new one called "Design" and pull out those posts which deal primarily with website and graphic design and other UX-related topics. I'm not going to commit to when I'll actually get this done, but the longest journey begins with an overreaching and unreasonable goal.
Note: If you enjoyed this post, then you'll love what I've got coming down the pike, an investigative series entitled "Sheetrock Anchors: Friend or Foe?"
Oh, I forgot about the sweeps.
I know; during that week, I'll blog au naturel!
That keep the excitement level about the same as for sheetrock anchors.
Posted by: Eric at November 23, 2004 10:47 AMCan't wait to read the post about drywall anchors. It is always time well spent looking through the myriad variety of anchors in the little hardware drawer trying to decide which model is better suited to fastening a bulletin board to a teenage girl's bedroom wall (such bulletin boards very quickly quadruple in weight once put in a useable position). One strives for a balance between higher anchor strength and smaller access hole.

If you need a roving reporter for this future segment, let me know.

Posted by: Eric at November 24, 2004 08:43 AMMaybe we can use the sheetrock idea for launching a new television series ... "Monster Blog" :-)

Eric, re: "an investigative series entitled "Sheetrock Anchors: Friend or Foe?"
Don't give too much away ... save it for the next "sweeps" :-)
