Noticing that pretty pictures on my Wordpress blogs drew (colorfully presented) "Likes" from fellow bloggers and Wordpress readers, I thought I'd try carving the "Conflict, Culture, Language, Psychology" category in which I've indulged here into a new blog.
Well, "Backchannels" has drawn a little bit of interest, but, probably, to be honest . . . same writer, same material -- same results.
So I'm going to pick up here where I've put up about 950 posts (plus a deliciously warm logo).
I'm not much these days about headlining with my name. I started this blog, Oppenheim Arts & Letters, as a showcase for fine art: photographs, poems, short stories.
Along the way, the ambition to become the next Ian Fleming turned into a convenient overview of what I today call the "Islamic Small Wars", and that pleasant diversion morphed into reporting from the "second row seat to history", essentially, plugging away with news aggregation and analysis, which from there moved on to or fed back to a Facebook account devoloped around and devoted to foreign affairs, and from their to Backchannels.
I'll keep Backchannels, which I want to grow within the area of political psychology, for about a year but may cross-post and otherwise keep both going.
I do like the idea of being a little more compartmented as regards business (as constituted, but that needs to change as I spend most of my days either at the desktop involved with chatyping and releated research in league with my many Facebook buddies), personal public journal keeping (that now has its own blog), and this new thing that the Facebook application "Klout" represents -- global social and political influence.
To my dismay -- this shares a class with my few age spots and, um, middle-aged paunch -- I've about run out of energy for reinvention.
So.
Honey, I'm home!
