Blogging Again?

Given that the last post on this blog was made in 2008, you might think I had forgotten about it entirely. I haven't forgotten. I want to write again.

Diana told me about 750words.com, and I gave it a try. I've typed out 750+ words every morning for that last 12 days. My joint pains and mental fog have decreased each day! I'm breaking through into a new realm of consciousness! Just kidding, but it has been nice.

I like the name of this blog, and I like the banner image that I made for it (seven years ago!). The name "shiftpop" sounds like a musical micro-genre, and also like an instruction in a stack-based programming language. In 2008 when I started this blog, I was at the apex of my cellular automata (the banner image) and non-mainstream programming languages (the blog name) phase.

I'm a bit nostalgic for that era, but I don't expect to write about either of those topics now. I do intend to write about technical issues, but I'm more likely to write about computer graphics and hardware verification.
