I don’t know if this site gathered any “regular” readers in its short life, but if you’re out there you’re probably thinking I must be dead. Well I’m not, and neither is the site, though it’s a long way from what I’d call “vibrant”.

The thing is, Seattlehound was meant to run in two phases. The second and most exciting phase hasn’t happened yet, and that’s when I move to Seattle and start using this site as my everyday blog about what’s going on in my life and around town. But the job hunt has not been going as well as expected, and I’m still in Nevada, so that phase of Seattlehound is still a ways out. If you have the patience, subscribe to my RSS and hold out for that day.

But the first phase of Seattlehound was supposed to be an experiment in long-distance placeblogging. I would try to write a vibrant and interesting blog about a city that’s far far away. And for a while it worked, I have 9 months of archives that show I was really in the groove for a while. But always Seattlehound was at the bottom of my list of priorities, and as time went on there were other things that were just more important. My kids, my work, my other websites. Seattlehound eventually became little more than a Twitter account and a languishing website. And that’s where we are today.

So I don’t think of Seattlehound as dead. Think of it as one of those frogs that can freeze solid and come back to life later. Seattlehound is just frozen, that’s all. Subscribe to the RSS, follow me on Twitter, and be patient. Things will warm up.
