Between Twitter, Facebook, TumbleDrew (andrewcanion.com), Flickr and the various other sites that effectively communicate and aggregate my online life, this old website has slowly gathered dust.

Anyway, I’ve given twosittingducks.com a fresh lick of paint, updated WordPress to the latest version (a program which, incidentally, has travelled leaps and bounds since it was first released and was a poor man’s Moveable Type), and have gone so far as writing this blog post.

I can’t guarantee that much more will happen here, but rest assured, I’m still on the interwebs somewhere.

It is interesting, though, how the original view of web publishing was to get away from “the man”. It offered the chance for everyone to be their own media mogul, with their own voice. But it would seem that the man is having the last laugh. The growth of the large community based sites, notably Facebook, has given the ability to blog and share information to everyone – at least within their walled garden. Not that I am really in a position to complain, since I have fallen for it as much as everybody else.

But at the very least I know that if it all goes pear shaped, I can always come back to my blog at twosittingducks.com. I don’t pay hosting fees for nothing!
