So, after 9+ years of blogging at kitschbitch.com, I’ve moved the blog to a new home. Welcome to Seemingly Unconnected.

The blog will be business as usual, the same ramblings about planning and brands and geekery ‘n’ stuff. It’s just that when I started blogging, it was a personal blog, and the domain name reflected this. Now that I blog about more work-related-type stuff, it seemed time to move to a more, er, work-friendly domain. That, and you can only begin to imagine how much spam you get over 9 years with a domain called kitschbitch.

So here we are, in the new digs. Still some links to update before the old blog gets taken down. The old blogger archives went a big stripey in the import so the 2000-2004 posts appear to have doubled up, so still some deleting to do (although if you’re reading posts from 5+ years ago, you probably have more to worry about than a few double posts). Still a bit of tinkering round the edges, and given that my CSS is exceptionally rusty (I know just about enough to break things…), I fully expect to cock something up along the way. Backup is my friend. But it’s time to move into the new home. I still haven’t quite decided what to do with the old domain. At the moment the old blog is still up there until I update all the relevant links (oh joy). Possibly a Tumblog. Possibly not. Suggestions on a postcard….

Oh, and why ‘Seemingly Unconnected’? It’s from a cracking William Plomer quote:

“Creativity is the power to connect the seemingly unconnected.”

The fun is in finding the connections amidst the randomness. Randomness is good. It’s where the good stuff comes from. But the great stuff comes when you start to join the dots.

So, here’s my new home for exploring some of the randomness – and hopefully, somewhere along the lines, the occasional joining of the dots.
