Conner's Blog

I’m probably going to be neglecting this site for the foreseeable future. I’ve had a lot of stuff happen the last few weeks and need to sit back and take stock and get some things figured out. I’ll still be around of course. I’m sure I’ll occasionally have inspiration strike and publish something. I intend to keep Wednesday Where?s going, but other than that I don’t have much in the pipeline for this site.

That being said, I do have a new project that hopefully will be launching by the middle of March, a few of you know about it but I’ll leave it a mystery for the rest of you. I have a couple other small  sites I’m working on, and I finally have the motivation to get things moving again. Sometimes life needs to kick you before you get going I guess.

So basically I’m just asking you to not delete my site from your reader, bookmarks, or however else you read this site. I’m sure I’ll be back before the snow melts. Of course you can always follow me on Twitter or Flickr and keep up with me that way.

Finally, on a much sadder note, the mother of one of my best friends is losing her battle with cancer. If you have ever wanted to buy me a beer, instead consider donating something to her benefit fund.  Currently there isn’t a way to donate online, but you can do so at any TCF bank. There is also a benefit being hosted for her on Friday in Hugo. Additional information can be found at http://pamkreyerbenefit.org/

As you may have noticed I’ve been having a slight case of not writing the last few weeks. So in an effort to remedy the lack of content here, I’ve setup a Formspring account.  So go ahead, ask me anything http://www.formspring.me/sloped

Are you celebrating Festivus today? Are you ready for the snow storm? Do you wonder if I will ever stop asking questions and actually get around to answering them? The answer of course is no.

Anyway, Happy Holidays everyone. I’ve made the decision to not post for the rest of the year. Too much going on, and I need to recharge with cookies, candies, delicious food, and cocktails. I will of course be writing in secret so expect new stuff come January.

P.S. I will be relaunching Wednesday Where in January, it won’t follow quite the same format, but hopefully it’s fun. So be sure to check back then, or just subscribe to my RSS feed.

Just a quick post to say hi. I’ve had a busy last few days. Since my parents arrived we’ve been to Como zoo, the state fair, Walker Art Center(where we saw Solid Gold), Mill City Farmers Market, and the Mill City Museum. Today we are hitting up St. Paul with Mass at the Cathedral and then possibly th Science museum and other places. Hope you all had a good weekend and I’ll be writing about some of this week next week.

Ok, so I’ve been neglecting this site for a little too long.  Part of it is being out of my routine for the last few weeks, the other part is I don’t know what to write about anymore.  So I’m taking a break, so I will not be posting any Wednesday Wheres or Friday Fives for a while.  I’m not sure when things will pick back up again, but I’m guessing once fall comes along.  I’ll still try to post at least some cooking and photo posts occasionally, so keep checking back in and don’t unsubscribe please.

I am alive, in case anyone who doesn’t follow me on Twitter or hasn’t run into me offline was wondering. I’m having a blogging mid-life crisis apparently and nothing I write or do seems interesting to me. I’ll get over it soon I’m sure but thought I would assuage any worries.

There is a bunch of stuff in the pipeline, another writeup about defining Twitter, an update on my herb garden, and a bunch of photos from the Lyn-Lake street fest.  Unfortunately, said street fest has me out of commission today, I barely made it through work and am not doing anything tonight.  Still, even utter exhaustion can’t keep my hostility at bay.  So today after reading one to many stupid quotes, unnecessary articles, and being just annoyed with written media in general I decided to launch a new project.

I’m announcing the launch of Ludicrous.  The goal is short posts highlighting absurdity in written media. I hope you enjoy.

Posting will be either light or nonexistent for the next 4-5days.  Today is my last day of work for the week, and tomorrow I fly to Spokane, WA to attend my cousin’s wedding.  I’m sticking around Spokane for a few days after the wedding and just hanging by myself.  I’m not quite sure what I’m going to do, but I’m not going to do much, I’m just going to enjoy being out of town and not working for a few days. This is the first break I’ve had from work since January, and that was when I had my ER trip, so hopefully this trip will go a bit better.

My camera is coming with me, so I should bring back some photos to share.  Everyone have a great weekend and I’ll see you all next week.

If you’re reading this, comments are enabled again.  Thanks for your patience.

Lot’s of issues today with my server.  Ended up building a whole new image and importing posts.  I lost Friday’s post and a couple of comments.  I’m hoping I can get them back in the next couple of days.  First though I want to see if this solution works or not.  The site is probably going to run a bit slow for the next few days.  But at least it will be working.  Thanks for your patience.
