Halloween
Friday, October 31st, 2008This year Halloween just isn’t that scary.
This year Halloween just isn’t that scary.
You know, with all the visions and version of distopian, statist, cybepunk fantasies that I have dancing around in my head, I have to admit, I’m the first guy who’s a little reluctant to stand up and be counted.
But the simple fact of the matter is, sometimes it has to happen. And this is one of those times. It’s time for you fine people to make yourselves known and knowable. I promise I won’t spam you. And I promise it will make it worth your while.
And hey, it’s not like I’m asking you to get a barcode tattoo. Click the picture or this sentence to make yourself known.
My new filing cabinet is mocking me.
So far October shows:

October 2006 reported 16054 visitors, but I no scared. It’s a rebuilding year.
So I hashed through some of the issues around the Seanachai with a friend of mind, Brandon Uttley. He ejected himself from a company he founded because he wasn’t satisfied with where it was going. He a good guy and a good guy to talk with.
If you’re interested in getting involved, here’s 60 minutes of our musings. Give a listen and post your reactions and suggestions.
Brandon’s blog is http://www.webbusinessfreedom.com. And don’t let his self-deprecating manner fool you, his blog is awesome. Go have a look.
Everything has a beginning. But there are precious few re-beginnings.
One of the best things about starting up the Seanachai again is that I get to really figure out what I want it to be like. That is to say, I get to make a plan. Which is pretty nice. Because in 2005 I just let myself get run over by this project ALL THE TIME.
It’s not that it wasn’t great, but if you have a little time to think about a subject, say, volleyball, you realize that there are better ways to play than with your face. But in on the day, in the moment, there’s no time for that kind of thought. You just do what you have to.
(I may have lost control of that analogy in mid-sentence.)
Anyway, I’m opening the question up. What would you like the Seanachai to be like? More is the obvious answer. But what else? And don’t be afraid to think wildly. Changes to the site are fine. But what would take the Seanachai to the next level?
“Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.” — Goethe
Comment away. Be bold.
Hello; St. Michael here. In preparation for the relaunch of The Seanachai on October 15th we’re rearranging a few things here on the site and preparing a new site design. As a result, some things on the current site may behave strangly or cease to function until we get the new site launched (at the time of this writing the “Collections” page doesn’t work, for example).
So please bare with us and pardon our dust while we work; we promise that the new site is going to be awesome.
