Thinly-sliced Trees

(#web #technology)
New layout. New blogging strategy. New energy.
For about a year, now, I've had a feeling that blogs could be dying—not the case. A resurgence is coming. The Internet as we know it, dying? Now, that's a different story. The architecture and user habits of the current web are quickly becoming stale. As the Apples and Googles continues to bring together the best minds of the times—pushing out cheaper pocket brains and robustly simple netbooks—stiffly sitting in front of a computer surfing will be like that ancient time of sitting on a porch reading those rolled-up, rubberbanded, thinly-sliced trees our parents use to read on Sunday mornings. Blogs will have their place in the new Web—they just desperately need new branding (and a new name).

Six Sentences—"Wilted"

Stay or go—just stop wasting space in the middle. We're given one shot; what's your point if not to color your time in shades of strength and strokes of pain? Carry on, people, there's nothing to see here, but a man who crept from one broken dream to another, stuck in molded memories of V-signs and wilted flowers. That's your legacy? Fight. Then, fight again.

Six Sentence Writing Exercise—"The Wanted-Man's Shack"

Describe what you see in this photo in six sentences.

For decades now, "The Wanted-Man's Shack" had been occupied by one ambitious transient after another. The redwooded escape was bare of hanging idols or cushioned distractions; a mattress, a knife, a blanket—only the essentials made up the tired space. Nailed to the door, were the rules: the playbook to change. A week is all it took. A forgotten drifter walks in; a clean slate walks out.
