New Blogging Engine
I like to play with my blog, but apparently not write much in it. That's going to change.
I moved psygeek from WordPress to Chyrp, because I detested the bloated back-end of WordPress. Heavily detested it. So when I saw my husband messing around with Chyrp, customizing the blogging platform to match his needs (which coincide with mine, most of the time), I piped up and asked for a copy to mess with for myself. Which meant I actually got around to designing a logo for psygeek, because I could easily find where to replace it.
I've also been thinking a lot about psygeek and what I want to do with it. While I'm passionate about psychology, and there are issues that truly fire me up, I'm not passionate enough about it to write about it1.
Naturally, it followed that psygeek should either be no more, or it should evolve with me. I decided to let it evolve, because I feel bad that I've neglected it. Especially since I know I have a few readers who care enough to continue reading what I have to say. Plus, I hate abandoning projects once I start them. So while the idea behind psygeek has changed, hopefully the ardor behind it will not diminish as it did with the first. I still hope and plan to incorporate psychology into some of my posts, especially on the topic of gaming, and why I love the games I do.

This was one of many realizations that lead me to a career change, if it can be called that before I actually embark on the career. I decided, after much contemplation, that I don't want to work in the field of psychology right now. I love it, it's awesome -- but I like talking about it more than anything else. And, well, we saw how that worked out. So after 3 months of thinking, a wedding, and writing out what my true passions are, I've decided to do what I've always done without having to be told to do it: art, gaming, and writing. ↩

Psygeek Makeover -- Extreme Edition
Psygeek was down for a bit tonight, as I switched over from b2evolution to wordpress. All of my posts have been imported, but the comments have not been imported. I have them all though, so they eventually should make it over to the new psygeek. I realized after I started that it would have been nice for me to give a warning, but it was kind of spur of the moment. I'd grown weary of b2evolution's blog structure, and that more than anything set off the switch-a-roo. I'll be tinkering over the next few days as I get a new logo designed and up, and fiddling with the layout and design of the blog. So bear with me! :)
