Back when I decided to take a vacation from social media, one of the reasons I
gave was that in the Before Time (i.e. Before Social Media, in the year 2005 BSM
and earlier), I got more stuff done. It's not necessarily the kind of stuff
that's going to set the world on fire or anything, but I did do more stuff. I
wrote more, I read more, I created content for my ridiculous number of websites
more. 

And since writing that post all the way back in January (it's April as I'm
writing this), I've started to find my legs, so to speak, and I've slowly been
getting back into the habit of doing some of the things that I kept saying that
I wanted to do, but could never find the time, for some reason. I've updated
this phlog a few times, I've uploaded a lot of stuff to this gopher hole in
general, I've started to dust off my backlog of books and started reading some
more, and so on.

But I think I can do more.

Last year I registered a new domain (I can stop any time I want to, I swear),
called 8bit.fun. The idea was to just have fun documenting video games and video
game culture that I liked. Probably nothing you haven't really seen before, but
it was something that I could do to help me both document the insane amount of
video-game-related stuff that's accumulated in my life (and my house), but also
to create new content to explore some new creative ideas that I had. 

That didn't pan out, and as the date of the domain's renewal started coming up,
I decided that I would just let it gently fade away into obscurity.

But now that I seem to be getting a second wind of sorts, I'm thinking that I
want to reverse gears on that decision. 

To that end, I've renewed the domain registration and I'm going to be spending
some time over the next few weeks getting some ducks into something resembling a
row and start doing something over there. I don't know what, exactly, the form
will take, but I'm cautiously excited to see where it takes me.
