Hmm, I don’t seem to be posting as frequently as before. I’ll try to fix that. :) So, last Friday I spent the afternoon at work putting together a chart of the Spanish royal line (starting with the Habsburgs and with Ferdinand and Isabel, and going all the way through the Bourbons down to Juan Carlos I. I’ll get a PDF up here soon. While making it, I realized that I really, really, really like designing things. On Saturday I went up to the library and got a neat little book called Design Basics Index (by the same people as my Color Index). It’s a beautiful book and I can already tell that it’s going to steal some of my homework time this week. :) At any rate, I’ve been thinking about Blank Slate and its content, and what I can do to make it a more useful website. (Basically asking the question, what should be on Blank Slate?) I think I’m going to pare it down a bit (as far as breadth) so that I can produce more quality content more regularly (depth). If it’s spread too thin, on the other hand, then I rarely update it and its value evaporates with the morning sun. So expect some changes soon, though “soon” most definitely does not mean the “immediately” it meant in days of yore, and in all honesty I have no idea what it means because school may chomp up most of my time. Wait! My whole point in that was that the content I think will be useful will probably end up being documents of one sort or another (like my Plan of Salvations, the 1000 Word List in Thai, this Spanish royalty chart, etc.). I don’t want Blank Slate to become just a set of links to other sites; that’s superficial and that’s what del.icio.us is for anyway.
