sursly

Clearly I can’t keep up in the blog world. Lately I’ve been infatuated with Twitter, since I’d rather spend 10 seconds updating a silly little one-liner rather than taking the time to write a full post. So I’m going to send this blog into the archives soon as I transition Sursly to a one-page site. 

Which is what my site used to be. Or something similar.

The problem is that I use this place as an outlet for design that doesn’t fit in at work. The look for this blog/site inspired and influenced the AWP re-design (and brand, in some sense). And WordPress (which powers this site, and the blog at work) is powerful and coherent enough (for a designer) that I feel compelled to challenge myself and change things in spurts.

But enough about techy stuff. I’ve also realized that I haven’t worked at all (nor do I plan to) on getting “readers”. I assume that my friends, family, enemies, whoever, will find this site somehow. So my audience isn’t to 100s of 1000s (see: dooce) or event a targeted group (see: web designer wall). And those people who know me – or get to know me by checking out sursly – also know that I’m a bit impulsive with this and more concerned with making something I like than something you like. 

So I’m not sure what the future holds. I’ve recently been inspired by onepagelove which reminds me that there are too many sites with too many pages out there. We’ll see what happens. 

I did return from vacation to find the postcards I designed for a client sitting on my desk. They look pretty sweet, check it out the rest on the work flickr account.
