Third Blogiversary
---
Three years, 3338 posts (including this one). A little over 400,000 hits. An indeterminate number of comments. One published piece.
Thanks.

I want to take this opportunity to announce some changes that I am planning for this blog. It's all tentative and not fully thought out, but I think it's where I want to go.
1. I intend to spend less time blogging and more time YouTubing. I hope to post at least one substantive commentary video per week. It's a lot of work for very little exposure (for now). But I strongly suspect that it's the future for my kind of pop punditry.
2. Meanwhile, I intend to switch, at least a bit, from fewer more comprehensive posts to more numerous but shorter "bullet" posts. You know the type. Such snipe-blogging does not come naturally to me — sorta kinda like Roger Clemens pitching softball — but it's definitely the preferred format. Cater to your audience, right?
3. After a great deal of soul-searching over the past several weeks — in response to two separate, emotionally stressful incidents involving fellow New York gay bloggers — I have decided to end any and all efforts to use this blog as a social networking surrogate. It has been an unmitigated failure.
There will no futher "Inside the Vault" posts, and no photos or videos. That will all be at my YouTube page from now on.
With a select handful of very high-quality exceptions, I have deblogrolled all the gay personal blogs from my site and from my aggregator. I have better things to do than read about the awesome happy hour that you all had two blocks from my work — and that I wasn't invited to. Gay political blogs remain.
Tne only two things that people seem to find interesting about me are my ideas and my dog, so those will be the only things that appear here anymore. (The one exception will be Sunday Cute YouTuber. I enjoy it, so it stays.)
Thanks.
