Random thoughts

After posting the last post I looked at my search log and noticed that there seemed to be a lot of searches on Eleanor of Aquitaine.

I didn't remember the reference myself so I did the search and came up with this quote of the day.

The post was from 2003 and an imprt from the old blogspot site that never got cleaned up. I cleaned it up a bit and got to thinking about other things.

When I first started this blog on June 21, 2002 I had an idea what I wanted to do. Part of it was a personal log which I still manage to do when I get around to posting. The other part relates to the name Freedom Lives which I have been somewhat less successful at. Not that our freedom's are in any less danger because they are if anything in more danger but there are other people doing that better than I , then as well as now even though the blogosphere landscape had changed a lot so that many of the blogs I "grew up" with have passed into history a long time ago.

One of the ones that hasn't and was one of my early supporters is the one done by Meryl Yourish. If you have not visited there I urge you to follow the link because it is worth your time.

As for me I think I need a bit of a redirection and redesign so that will be in the future. the redirection will not be that radical because I still intend to post on things that bother me especially concerning the pitiful state of our colleges and universities as well as all the other things that piss me off. The redesign will have to wait on funds and in the short run might only consist of a new name The Hawk's Nest which will signal more of a personal rather than a political orientation and more pictures once I get a response form Flickr tech support.
