53MILES

This blog is now paused

Fri, 08 May 2009 05:34:54 -0400

This weekend while I was sitting at a campfire (don’t ask) with EJ, we talked about this tumblelog for a bit. We agreed that 53miles.com wasn’t adding enough value for the reader and for me. It isn’t unique and it isn’t a challenge. Some reposting and commentary, but no real value in the editorial sense. That to me doesn’t really feel right. If I’m doing something, I’ll better take it seriously, I’ll better do something valuable and it better be fucking awesome.

So that’s why this blog is now on pause. It’ll return once I figure out how to make it any good. Any ideas are very welcome in the comments, or of course on Twitter.
