The biggest reason is that one of my coworkers, who happens to be one of the people who hold my workplace together, has decided to move to a different job. So at this moment I’m in ‘oh crap what do I do’ mode trying to decide whether I should ask for a big raise and stay or just cut my losses and find a new job. Beyond that I had a visitor from out of town and I’m currently planning a trip across half the country to watch 8 baseball games in 8 days. I’ll be gone from the 20th until the 29th of July for that trip so I won’t be doing any posting here for that (perhaps to my brother’s sports blog instead).

Donnybrookdesign will probably never be an everyday posting place for me. This is more of my professional blog and sandbox website. I’ll probably try out a lot of crazy things here and discard them. I’m adamantly against posting news stories and just writing a two line comment for the sole purpose of having a post here. I know many bloggers have the need to become rich and famous off of other’s efforts but that is not really my intention. I want this to mostly be an index site directing you to the most reputable sources of knowledge and software on the internet. I may not be the most intelligent guy in the world, but I do know how to recognize talent and collate widely disparate information. I think that has something to do with spending way way way too much time in academia and more specifically academic libraries…
