It’s official! March 15, 2012

The main page of erinptah.com now sends you directly to this blog. Slick new layout and all.
Having added the “Favorites” link list (it sounded nicer than “Miscellaneous”), I’m a little tempted to go wild and LINK ALL THE THINGS. After starting with projects I’d contributed to, I threw in a few sites I’ve paid special attention to along the way — Day of Silence, Kiva, and LibriVox. But if you were to expand that to “things around the Internet that I read and happen to like”…
…Screw it, if I’m going to go pick up links to share as examples, I may as well pick up links and put them on a list.
[20 links later]
I retroactively apologize to every blog I ever rolled my eyes at for having a ridiculously long blogroll. (Although the next step will probably be shuffling them off to their own page.)
The main thing still to fix up is the About page. I don’t suppose anyone has requests for it? Past history suggests the text will get written to semi-completeness and then left unchanged for years, so if there are any burning questions you’ve always wanted answered, now’s the time to get them in.
OH LOOK AN UPDATE. June 12, 2011

Sometimes it seems like the only way I ever get anything done is when it’s in order to procrastinate on something else.
An illustrative example: I finally have a serviceable website for But I’m A Cat Person, the original webcomic whose premise I’ve been dithering over for almost a year now. All the code is in place, some filler is up, I mentioned it on DA; now all it needs is actual pages. It’s been effectively shifted from “vague theoretical idea” to “thing I should be actively working on, like, Right Now.”
I then sat down and churned out two weeks’ worth of Shine strips in two days.
…
Another worthwhile thing I’m dragging my heels on: reviewing And Shine Simple Heroes, which, seriously, if you are a Shine fan at all, you need to read. Even if there are sections where you start to glaze over for not recognizing the crossover characters, hang in there — the ending is absolutely golden.
…
…
(PSA: this week only, you can create a Dreamwidth account without worrying about invite codes. Go wild.)
Oh hey, it seems I went and got a Tumblr. February 18, 2011

During this TCR interview, Stephen asks if the guest can give all his answers in iambic pentameter, and gets a fumbled reply. My first thought was, “Oh, come on. He should have said ‘I’ll try, but I can’t promise anything.’” Then, “Hey, I could do this standing on my head.” And, eventually, “I wonder how this trick would fly on Tumblr?”
And thus, Fuck Yeah Iambic Pentameter was born.
I could just post random lines of blank verse, but this will be so much more fun if I’m answering questions. So those of you who already have Tumblr accounts, do me a favor and ask me things! (Anonymous questions are currently enabled. We’ll see how that goes.) Anything is fair game, from “who will still be alive at the end of Shine?” to “how can we achieve peace in the Middle East?” to “what’s your favorite color?” Even if the answer is a secret, or something I have no idea about, I will find a rhythmic way to say so.
Finally, anyone have suggestions for interesting Tumblrs that I should be following? (And feel free to include your own.)
