Chazzbot II

Since ending this blog in 2009, I have received 36 comments on my final post, more than I recall receiving on any other post in the 3 1/2 years this blog was active. Since that time, I have gravitated toward Facebook, where I can share my opinions and rantings among those people who already know me, and where I seem to receive much more immediate feedback than I did with this blog.

For those of you who don't know me personally--and since most of those 36 comments have been written in a language I can't read, I'm assuming that includes many of you--and who wish to continue the dialogue that began on these pages, I encourage you to follow me on Tumblr, where I have started a new blog, creatively named Chazzbot II.

Chazzbot II is different in kind and purpose than this blog. On the new blog, I generally post quotations and images that I find interesting, amusing, or engaging in some way. If there is a theme or guiding principle behind Chazzbot II, it comes in the form of lyrics from Neko Case's song, "Fox Confessor Brings the Flood":

It's not for you to know
But for you to weep and wonder
When the death of your civilization precedes you.

(The only video I can find for the song consists of, appropriately enough for me, a montage of scenes from Battlestar Galactica. Enjoy?)

Chazzbot II, then, is less of an editorial page and more of a Victorian-style memory book. Though I rarely comment on my postings, and I haven't set up the blog for outside comments, it is my hope that the new blog serves as a kind of launching pad for new ideas, or at least as a means of promoting authors and other creators who I think might be worth your attention.

Anyway, if you have find my comments here of interest, please visit my new site. And, for those of you who commented on any of my postings here, thank you for bringing me out of the wilderness, at least for a time, and for your willingness to listen to my ramblings.

Chazzbot is dead. Long live Chazzbot II!

Hate to burst your bubble, but all of those unreadable comments on your last post were spam adverts for Viagra. Still: welcome back!
