Like You Didn't See This Coming.
You may notice that lately, Laugharn Information doesn't get updated very much. Scratch that, not lately, it hasn't been updated very much for about the past year or so. For my two or three loyal readers, I'm sorry. This is just another in a pile that includes, to the best of my knowledge: one Diaryland, three Blogger accounts, one danlaugharn.com, one emrgncy.com, a Wordpress account, two attempts at dan.laugharn.net and two or so iterations of the .info. And you will know me by the trail of dead... blogs. What can I say, resilience is still on my to-do list. So, yes, what I'm trying to say is that the .info blog you know and love is shuttering. This is not to say that I don't think there are things worthy of posting about. Far from it. Just yesterday I found out that the mascot of Concordia College is the Cobbers, graphically represented as a mean looking ear of corn with, you guessed it, husk trousers. I don't think anybody can deny that this is important stuff. But unfortunately I just don't have the energy for scowering and posting and tagging random links anymore, and all of my energy that isn't dedicated to living and relationships and gainful employment and the pursuit of gainful-er employment is dedicated to politics and design. So in the end all of my posts would probably just be stuff like this and this ad nauseum. The design stuff is a little insular and honestly at the end of the day that's really just for me. But the politics, well, looking around and seeing an almost unprecedented movement among a generation famous for not being into movements, this is probably a good time for that kind of talk. That's where a new project from Matt and I comes in.
Another blog? That's right, I do not learn. What, you might be asking, is The Signifier? Well, born out of the ruins of the previous Signifier, another web effort I was involved in, the new Signifier will be a community blog written by a group of young, interesting, politcally and culturally engaged people with things to say about, well, politics and culture. I can't say too much about it, other than that it launches in March, and if we'd started it around 2000 some irrationally exuberant venture capitalist would be backing a dump truck full of money to my apartment, and Matt and I would probably be on the cover of Wired looking like this. The Signifier: Tales told by reasonably smart people, full of sound and or fury, signifying something. We hope. Shortly, the archives of Laugharn Information will be back up, and looking cleaner and more searchable than ever. Until then, thanks for your patience, and for sticking with me. Your praise has meant a lot. Peace,
