In a number of ways SidewalkTheory has been mirroring our lives. By that, I mean it's been a mess.

There are a number of reasons for this..

- changing jobs (and thus changing laptops, servers, internet providers)
- moving to Reno and searching for things that fit our new physical space
- trying to organize all of our "stuff" in a smaller space

This merging of stuff has been the most problematic both physically and digitally. I brought a lot of blogging baggage to this relationship. I started blogging in 1999 when I went to Europe with some homebrew code. I continued to update that code until I bought into the hype about MovableType in 2003. I blogged regularly about the Future of Television until it was obvious to everyone but the person I was trying to convince that the broadcast television model was broken. Rather than lose a friend, I stopped blogging.

Along came Drupal. I had been reading good things about Drupal for a few months when Chad Udell talked me into starting www.peoriawireless.org with him. PeoriaWireless was taken over by people with a very different agenda. This video is about all that remains of our original vision. While that project died, my interest in Drupal lived on and after several false starts I think Jackie and I are ready to merge of digital assets in this Drupal-driven version of SidewalkTheory.
