It’s no secret. It’s been challenging for me to keep this blog going, as of late. I can’t blame this on any one thing, but more on collection of many things, each of which has been chipping away at my time.
By and large, these things have been good, but the guilt none-the-less picks at the back of my head. And while most of my distractions have been client related and other side projects, I have come to realize that a respectable mass driving my dissuasion, is in fact related to design.
I’ve been meaning to redesign Repeat Penguin for quite some time. There are a number of factors leading this desire that I will leave for a future post, all of which play some roll in my neglect. However, for now I think it is only fair to say that the primary reason behind this redesign has to do with context.
What does this mean? Well hopefully, it will mean better writing and more enthusiasm from my end. I launched this blog back in 2006 with the peculiar idea that this blog would be a perfect platform for an exercise in anti-design. And well, I did my best to see that through.
So along with my aim to reinvigorate my interest in this blog and return the focus to its rightful place of residence, the writing, the new design also grapples with several other areas of resistance, that have been affecting not just me, but bloggers across the Internets. It has become a true assignment of reacquaintance and I look forward to sharing my thoughts in the coming week.
Those of you who follow me on Twitter have already had a small sneak preview.
