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<\/a> with which my new laptop is saddled, I think I am ready to make that announcement now.<\/p>\n

So, here goes: CT Movies has started a blog<\/a>, and editor Mark Moring has asked me<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

So, by all means, keep both<\/i> blogs in your news feed!<\/p>\n

And no, in case you\u2019re wondering, I don\u2019t always buy a new computer every time something goes wrong with the one I\u2019m 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 \u2014 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.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
