Here we go again...
I've really enjoyed putting my energy behind Dissensus, but I think it can stand on its own two feet now. Plenty people there don't know or care who I am, and that's just fine. I plan to keep it afloat as long as people visit the site. I'll also been in there as much as usual, but I think I may start a few less threads. Hopefully people wont mind me clawing back and archiving some of my better rants here as I've done.
At the moment this blog is made up of those rants, and articles and reviews I've done for FACT magazine and The Wire. Essentially its a bit of a repository, though I do intend adding other stuff here. I'm making no promises as to the quality of what gets posted here. It'll probably be an extremely low-key. if regularily updated affair. Also don't go expecting much, if any interblog banter. One thing the experience of running the forum has taught me is that I'm pretty useless at engaging in discourse (unlike masters of the art Fisher and Finney), I'll be cheerfully ploughing a lonely furrow- much as I did at Dissensus in fact ;-)
The links bar business really represents thanks to people who have stuck by me through the process of running Dissensus, which has been, although almost entirely positive, pretty stressful. I'd especially like to thank Simon "blissblogger" Reynolds for mucking in and supporting the endeavour, lending it more kudos than it would have had without his support.
