Cutting through the fog.
I do, on occasion, have thoughts that are larger than 140 characters.

The Groundblog spies its shadow.
Hooray, NaBloPoMo is over!
I mean, sure, it’s a completely obvious idea that was just waiting for someone to actually take the time to do it, but I prefer to think that I’m prescient and totally on the edge of future trends.
Just a few more days, and our national NaBloPoMo-induced nightmare will be over.
I’ve started keeping a scrapbooky-type thing over at Tumblr to hold the little embeddables that don’t fit elsewhere in my ever-expanding network of web utilities.
As soon as I saw the word “NaBloPoMo”, it was all over but the crying. And the posting of blog entries. But that’s going to take a while. Thirty days, by my reckoning.
While the visible design of the site hasn’t changed that much, I did finally get around to gutting the site’s Movable Type templates, clearing out a bunch of crufty sidebars and CSS classes.
I’m not sure what to make of the absurdly mild winter we’re having in Minnesota.
When you’ve run out of things to post about, just redesign the site to make it look busy.
Josh changes web hosting services, madness ensues.
As the Internet — and I — get older, I have less and less patience with seeing the same old parodic press releases and faux-hacked web sites try to wring a bit of surprise out of an increasingly jaded online audience.
After spending all summer implementing a series of web sites for various clients, each more elaborate than the last, it’s actually kind of relaxing to take the design of my own site and tear it down to a bare minimum.
You know all that stuff I said yesterday about weblogs providing “much simpler tools” for people to build home pages with? Yeah, so much for that.
Don’t mind me, just fixing my links page here.
Along the way, I culled a few dead sites, and mercilessly purged a large number of feeds that don’t really interest me these days. It was a little sad, really, since I’d been following some of these sites for years.
When life gets you down, just make crappy desktop wallpapers.
GarageBand is fun to play with, and this site needs a theme song. Josh spends a nice afternoon coming up with ways to make your eardrums cry.
An absence of video games leads to an abundance of web design.
I think this is Version #3 of the site, but I may have lost count somewhere along the way.
Just a couple of quick additions to the site this morning.
I was getting a little tired of the understated, under-designed style of Sediment (which could be described as either “spare and elegant,” or “mind-numbingly dull,” depending on how you feel about it).
I’ve moved the hosting of semifat.net over to a shared hosting service.
I put the ol’ sediment codebase out to pasture, and replaced it with the oh-so-slick Movable Type.
This is Semifat Sediment. It is a weblog. In it, a man named Josh Lee posts occastional ravings, mostly the about video games he spends too much time playing, but also about other exciting adventures he has, some of which even involve him leaving his apartment.
