I decided it was time I got myself a new web site, so here it is. I have yet to decide how bloggy/personal versus c.v./professional it will be, but, in all likelihood, infrequent posting will make that decision for me. In any case, this site replaces the defunct borealism.com and nom de plume, so update your bookmarks, I guess?
Over the next few days, I will be transferring some items from my archives onto here in order to make it look more lived-in: The definitional essays from my comprehensive exams and my undergraduate thesis will be near the top of the list; maybe some old comics, too. I imagine that I will continue to be working the kinks out of the design for some time, so excuse the mess, &c., &c.
To complete introductory matters, I should note that the site is running on Wordpress and its inaugural design is based on the Takimata theme designed by Robert Ellis, late of Upstart Blogger, for the Sandbox design competition. I have modified it loosely to resemble the original No Name packaging designed by Don Watt, which seemed an appropriate aesthetic for a Canadian interested in consumer society critique. Also, note that the asterisks in the header and footer are links that can skip between the top and bottom of the page, for your convenience.
