Updates…
Once more into the breach! I never really hit my writing stride after getting back from my honeymoon (honestly, one decently thoughtful post in almost two months does not a blog justify), but if there’s one motivation that outweighs all others, it’s the threat of public shaming – since I’m heading off to spend 5 days with all the cool kids at SXSWi, I’m blowing the dust off this here blog and hitting the ground running.
First, a brief catch-up on general life stuff:
- Bought a condo in DC, spent a month or so getting my hands all dusty with some home improvement (June 2005)
- Got married (Oct 8, 2005)
- Spent a month in New Zealand (December 2005 – January 2006)
- Had a small homeowner’s disaster
In more professional news:
- Teaching a class at American University this semester
- Got positive reviews back on my book manuscript from MIT Press, currently writing a response to criticisms
- Working on some cool software projects
- Hatching a few other plans, more about which soon
Non-RSS readers will also notice a snazzy new design, cribbed almost whole-cloth from the talented Jeremy Boggs, with whom I’m lucky to work. My strengths are many, but design ain’t one of ‘em; my interests lie far more in tweaking information design than in graphic design, so standing on Jeremy’s shoulders was exactly the boost that I needed. I’ve also decided to kill the blog.epistemographer.com subdomain, so everything now redirects to www.epistemographer.com – change your bookmarks and RSS feeds accordingly!

Hi Josh! Glad to see you up and writing again! Sorry to hear about the water damage…we had the same thing, only it ran through the drywall and under the kitchen floor, welling up every time we stepped on the tile and un-grouting it piece by piece. Water, like fire, finds its own way in a very freaky manner. Have fun at SXSW!
