Turbonerd Is Refactoring

For the next few weeks, I'm going to be rethinking this site, so things are going to be relatively quiet around here for a while. The main factors driving this redevelopment effort, in case you were wondering, are:

• Most of the stuff I post is really only interesting to friends and family anyway,
• I find myself wanting to post lots of geeky stuff related to my work, but I usually don't, for fear of boring the hell out of said friends and family, and
• I hate to say it, but as a new dad I'm becoming a bit more protective of my personal information in general.

So I'll be forking the site into two kinds of things, basically — one, a notebook of stuff I collect for friends and family (pictures of my kid, notes about what we're up to lately, etc.), and two, a notebook of stuff I collect that have more to do with work (technology stuff, software stuff, über-geeky industrial-design-type stuff, etc.). The latter will be completely public, whereas the former will be, alas, protected. I'm still trying to figure out how best to do that, since I'd rather folks not have to identify themselves every time they choose to stop by — but at the same time, I'd like to know I have at least some measure of control over who's checking out my house, my kid, my whereabouts from one day to the next, and so on.

Hopefully that'll make sense; we'll see. It's not a trivial undertaking, since I've got upwards of 15,000 or so pieces of content to get organized into one thing or another, and I'm also in the middle of a rather large project at work, but I'll get there. For you, for now, not much'll change — still the odd post here and there, but in general, fairly quiet.

I hope you enjoy the ultimate result(s). And of course, if you have any suggestions as to things you might appreciate my adding (or removing), please do consider dropping me a line. Thanks.
