Last Friday marked the official beginning of a new phase in my blogging. And, as luck would have it, that was also the day on which my son accidentally poured a drink all over my laptop and short-circuited its keyboard.
So, the announcement I was planning to make on Friday has had to wait, until now. But after spending my weekend looking for a new computer, re-installing a lot of my software, catching up on e-mails and adjusting to the demands of Windows Vista and the Canadian French keyboard with which my new laptop is saddled, I think I am ready to make that announcement now.
So, here goes: CT Movies has started a blog, and editor Mark Moring has asked me to be one of the main bloggers there. A lot of what I post there will be copied from this blog right here, so there will be a fair bit of overlap, but each blog will continue to have a fair bit of exclusive content, too.
So, by all means, keep both blogs in your news feed!
And no, in case you’re wondering, I don’t always buy a new computer every time something goes wrong with the one I’m using. But I had been thinking of replacing the old laptop for a while now, not least because various bits and pieces had been breaking down over the past couple years (including, just last week, the DVD drive — which, for obvious reasons, is especially problematic for someone like me). The accident with the drink just forced me to act a little sooner than I had anticipated.
