Like so many people who started this whole writing online gig back in the dark ages, I've been sorta loathe to get on board some of the more newfangled features. I don't think bells and whistles for the sake of bells and whistles is ever a smart move, and if you can't seamlessly incorporate these things into your existing brand - aka your site - than you're just causing problems.

But now that I think about it, that's probably due to me being crotchety and old. I fear the new, people. Get off of my lawn. Turn down that music.

But I am a Web editor, for God's sake, and some of these things I have to get on board with or perish. So tonight I spent a stupid amount of time futzing with Twitter and creating a new Flickr badge, which, on their own, mean nothing, but together symbolize that I'm willing to submit that perhaps it's time to soup up this site a bit and move things forward. I mean, I agonized for three minutes whether or not to use the flash version of the Flickr badge. This is how resistant I am to change at this site.

Be careful, people. Before you know it, I'm going to have an embedded video player and use the camcorder function on my Treo. Step back.
