Because it’s one of my favourite labels, and one of the best bios I’ve read in awhile. Descriptive, non-conformist and always trailblazing.
The ghostly bio:
In the years since its birth in 1999, Ghostly has grown from a boutique label known for its experimental-pop and -techno acumen to an internationally recognized platform for the work of the world’s best visual artists, designers, technologists, and musicians.
“With science, I’ll explain my absence.”
I’ll admit, it was a pretty good feeling stepping away from this blog for about two months. You might ask, “What kind of blogger absents himself from his blog for two months?”
Well, this kind. The kind that entertains bouts of neurosis, and every whimsical thing out there besides his responsibilities.
I’ll admit, if I ever want to see this blog have some sort of regular readership, I need to have some sort of regular update, so form of content that keeps you coming back and getting something out of the experience of the shit that gets put up here.
So, that’s what I’m going to do. I’ve already gotten rid of one particular distraction, so now I feel a lot more cohesive in bringing you content on a regular basis. I also feel more comfortable sharing my opinions without having an identity crisis.
I think as far a managing social media assets, I’ve tried spreading myself over a broad range of projects and topics, and it just didn’t seem to be work out, but it was a mistake I had to make in order to gain the clarity I have now.
I’m very pleased to be blogging on geekulture again, and I’m fired up to share some of the tastes, opinions and outright nonsense that I find on a daily basis.
So yes, I do believe I’ll be blogging again, and I’ll leave the rest of that introspective, emotional stuff over at harmless? bananas! Over here, it’s just content that pertains to my interests with the usual off-kilter point of view that you know me for in the real world.
Here’s to more geeky endeavours in 2011!
Oh good lord, I got myself another blog.
But wait! Here me out, this time it’s different! One of the main limitations of a blog like singularity industries was that the content was always meant to be more serious, and I did not have an outlet to publish the things that I thought were cool.
Well, this is where the creation of geekulture comes in! Down here, articles will be fun, trivial, superficial, sometimes it might be an exegesis of how cool a certain new technology is, but I suppose the main thing that sets this blog apart from the others of the network, is that geekulture will be INDULGENT.
It’s all about the tastes of me, and all future contributers. In short, it’s going to be the kind of blog that
I would to read.
It’s not rocket science or anything. Nothing to do with saving the world, or making the world a better place. It’s almost like I’m publishing because i can. And if I find more like minded folks through these entries, then that just doubles or triples the fun.
So here’s what you can expect in terms of content:
0. personality
1. culture
2. good taste
3. low brow humour
4. multi-layered sarcasm
5. cool tech
6. hipster music
7. understated fashion
8. lifestyles of the geek and infamous
9. a point of view
And lastly, today is my birthday! I decided to launch my new blog because I’m narcissistic! Also, it gives me something else to celebrate for. Plus, the litford network was established on my parent’s wedding anniversary. So now you know.
And knowing is half the battle.
