Last year I walked away from a carefully crafted online persona, I deleted the blog, deleted the email account and abandoned the digital world of writing for a freelance gig with a magazine. Increasingly as I was, and continue to be paid to write, the mojo to put down my musings waned. Writing for multiple mistress's around the same topic became, quite frankly, tiresome, and so I walked from online thoughts. I reduced my digital footprint, especially the anonymous one, to that existing only in cache, I began to comment under my real name on the blogs I still followed and perhaps most importantly in a series of "fits and starts" I rediscovered and rekindled my inner Geek.
So why the "Why is the Platypus?"...well...
...quite simply it has to do with Rincewind, a place called Buggerup and a writer called Terry Pratchett. It might also have a little to do with the fact that it was the first blog I ever wrote, the first anonymous identity I crafted and the first I walked away from when the fourth wall threatened to fall. Besides, I had to call a blog about my Geek interests something, didn't I?
Oi! you never told me you were blogging again!
