Bradtastic Thoughts of Change

Things are happening, gotta make some changes. Yesterday, Six Apart and peeps announced the end of Pownce, set to close-up completely on December 15. Their press-release offers one year of free TypePad for all “Pro” Pownce users (I don’t know any), but that’s a solid. Six Apart also asks that the Pownce community moves to Vox to “continue the spirit of Pownce,” whatever that means.

Upcoming changes: I’m going to find a Pownce replacement… I’m not sure what or where, however. I’m most-likely going to change this WordPress style, or use this opportunity to change a lot more than just the Pownce. Heck, I feel like it’s time to make radical changes to Bradtastic and the semi-innovative offshoots that I’ve created over the past few years.

I own some fancy domain names and have had ambitions to create side-projects… a combination of stylized design and illustration, mixed with storytelling, current events, perhaps even a little bit of politics. The goal? To get more people, more young, inspired and passionate people, to care about what’s happening with the world and civilization itself.

There’s something wrong with athletes and Paris Hilton getting more news-coverage than the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. Our troops get shot at with assault rifles, people don’t seem to care… an NFL RB shoots himself in the thigh with an illegal concealed weapon and it’s breaking news. (It’s pretty funny, but not “important.”)

 

Change is being planned right now. Ready or not, it doesn’t change a thing on my end.
