Remember me?

Oops. That was unintended, but my lack of full-time computer in my own regular writing space really messed up the updating here. Thankfully it looks like I will be up to speed in the coming week (new motherboard! shiny!) and the blogosphere will return to normal as I begin to share with you again.

How the Interwebz survived without me for so long is beyond my understanding.

In other news, I’ve acquired my .com – as in monicabrand.com – and for a few days of sheer stupidity, I thought I was going to have two seperate blogs. Paperbridges and the new one. Then I remembered how sometimes writing for one blog could go neglected for days, weeks, so how could I possibliby maintain two blogs.

Like, duh.

So I’ll be transferring everything here to the new url (should that be all in caps? URL?) and redirecting my original monicabrand.net and paperbridges.net.

And with that bit of information, we have reached the “too much information” part of the title of this post.

See what the blogosphere has been missing?

How did it survive without me?

I’m writing this via my iPhone.

My laptop died six days ago. Today I finally had an inspiration to write here.

Writing, and blogging, by my highly intelligent smartphone is do-able. I guess. I don’t think I can embed links. I could copy and paste, but make it look pretty . . .?

This is no-frills blogging at it’s best.

Happily my lack of laptop hasn’t stopped my Internet social life.

If my mobile was to die or be lost or stolen, then the withdrawal symptoms wouldn’t be pretty.

I took this picture of my desk right before the laptop died. I took it because I wanted to remember the late summer, afternoon light on the wall, the chaos of papers, the VBS craft that will someday be lost to time.

But I may have captured the final moments of an object that feels like an old friend.

New motherboard on order; let’s see if Dell can be resurrected.
