Nowtopian moves again!
Hi friends,
I am moving this blog, and this address will shut down very soon... the new url is
http://blogs.mediapicks.org/ccarlsson/
The previously announced wordpress blog didn't work out, so this is yet another new one, and it will have that new name, "The Nowtopian." I posted a new entry there earlier today, and it will be a few days before I have the same functionality I got used to on this blog... but bear with me as I shake out the new site and get back into the rhythm of blogging... thanks!

Lost in Migration!
Hi everyone,
I'll cross-post this at The Nowtopian too, but the basic story is that I cannot get Wordpress to upload photos or become easy to use... I went to the support forums and there are dozens of messages, mostly either unanswered, or answered with complicated programming-like instructions, that lead me to believe that the hype around WordPress is way overblown, and it's a cumbersome, unfriendly piece of software. The upshot is my pal Brian A. is offering to set me up with a new Drupal-based blog and we'll hopefully have it running soon... in the meantime I actually start teaching today (!!!), a class "Shaping San Francisco's History" at New College. So I'm a bit busy with that and everything else. In the meantime, here are a couple of images from recent days, the lovely Critical Mass last Friday and a typical image of me at the top of Twin Peaks...
Will let you all know when something is up and running for REAL!!
