note on the grid

in

Been back and forth the last several weeks over the blog list look for the site or this grid-melange. For now, I’ve settled on the grid: it’s a quick, succinct homepage for showing new readers / curiosity seekers the best approximation of what my brain looks like. A bit more work than the list (really, just adding a featured image for videos and text posts - mem: I need to design a text featured image for the grid) but worth it, to me at least.

A break from exhaustive snowmahgerd shoveling to wave 👋 to anyone who might wander into my small little corner of the internet via minifeed. I'm Tyler, and this is where I share the things I've thought / built / made; these are the principles to which I try to adhere. Hope you enjoy this peek into my brain, or, as William Gibson would term it, my personal micro-culture.

I'd had myself convinced that, after 25 years of running one website or another, I was content to let this one slide into the realm of quasi-active portfolio, content to let The Informalities speak for themselves but, after finding rss.social, I'm (once again) inspired to turn this back into a regular blog, to share half-baked or raw-dough morsels of thought that might become something larger or that might exist solely in the uncooked form. Preparations have been made for the great snow-pocalypse of 26, wine has been purchased, dusters for The Collection's long-overdue dusting which I swore I wouldn't do until I had glass cases because I was only doing it once but oh well. Oops.

(IN)TANGIBLE changes

Just sent this to my newsletter subscribers, but I want to add it here for posterity:

Greetings,

As my metalwork is suddenly starting to take off on a local level (I’m actually in the process of selling a few pieces which is still wild to me), it’s time for a different path with (IN)TANGIBLE. I really like the name and want to use it for something else, so this email is going to shift to being an announcement of when I release a new issue of the (IN)TANGIBLE zine, the home for any and all of my long(er)-form writing and cartooning (read: anything that I both love and that takes me more than half an hour to compose). It’ll be available in both digital and handmade physical editions.

If you want to keep up with my day-to-day Informalities / brainstream / sharing of personal micro-culture, Parenthetical Recluse continues to – and will forever - be my weird little slice of the internet. AND it has a comment system (again)! Here’s the RSS feed: https://parentheticalrecluse.com/blog?format=rss

(Instagram’s my only social media these days; you’re welcome to find me there if we haven’t already connected.)

Anyhow, you’ve got my email so feel free to reach out anytime. In the meantime, my best to you and yours and a heartfelt thanks for the multitudinous years of support through all the ups and downs and zigs and zags of this particular creative calling.

See you soon – be well.
