Clean Slate
Over the past few years I’ve wiped and restarted my blog many, many times. In the process I’ve managed to piss off more than a few people trying to find old content. Sorry.
In the past my blog was always very Flash and ActionScript oriented. This wasn’t a bad thing – it was, and still is, a major passion of mine. However at this point there a lot of Flash bloggers and many of them are simply smarter, more articulate, and more inclined to actually blog. I don’t intend to not write about Flash, but it won’t be the focus of my writing.
Instead, the focus will be the “nom de ‘net” I chose for this site when I bought the domain back in 2002. I came up with waxpraxis by smooshing together wax to denote increasing (as in the waxing moon) and praxis to denote practice, learning, and action. I simply want to write more because I feel that I do my best learning when I am actually teaching.
Back in the early days of Flash I would literally learn a feature or technique and immediately make a forum post or write a tutorial about it. Somehow over the last few years I’ve lost that habit, but now, for both selfish and altruistic reasons, I want to start it back up.
I don’t want to set any posting goals – I’m hoping sheer habit will take care of that. Instead, my major goal is to keep this blogs content, in it’s whole form, for the next 5 years. Hopefully, this will be fun!
