AFTER WEEKS, nay months, of threatening to do this, I’ve finally moved the main page of yr. luscious online column to that increasingly popular “weblog” format. This should liven things up a bit, by reviving the hodgepodge of topics and item lengths that characterized the original MISC. print column in its various incarnations.

Since the beginning of this year, the online column had become more of a chore to write every day. While I’d once kept two or even three weeks ahead of my self-imposed deadlines, lately I found myself staying up late trying to find something to say that night that would fit my self-imposed format of 300-800 words a day on one topic.

And I knew if it was less fun for me to write, it would (at least gradually) become less fun for you to read.

I don’t know how it’ll evolve from here, but I know it should be an exciting ride.

AS FOR THE OTHER HALF of this site, the MISCmedia print mag, the last photocopy-zine issue will be out in two weeks. Some design consultants and I are toying with three possibilities for the new print format–a slick magazine, a paperback “literary joural” thang, and a giant broadsheet (i.e., daily-newspaper size) paper. More info will appear in time.

If you’ve any suggestions of your own, email me. When you do, lemme know if it’s OK to quote your message on the site. We’re discontinuing the separare discussion-board pages, which have seriously ebbed and flowed in activity.

AND THE BIG ART OPENING Saturday night was a blast. Folks loved my pix, drank wine, snacked on Tostitos and Belgian gourmet cookies, and had many enjoyable chats with one another.

My exhibition of vivid color photos is still up through July 5 at the Belltown Underground Art Gallery, 2211 1st Ave. in Seattle (just north of the Frontier Room), 10 am-4 pm Mon.-Sat.
