Okay I Accidentally Lied

I've been busy. There will probably be something here Friday, though.

EDIT: Or Saturday.

Returning Soon

The Nimblog will be returning this December, sometime in the next two weeks.

I Haven't Forgotten About This Blog

I'm writing a new post as we speak. It's going to be about something awesome.

THE NIMBLOG WILL RETURN

On August 24th. Mark your calendars.

Every Other Day

...is the new update schedule for this blog. I'm going to be a little busy for the next couple of weeks, so I thought it was better to shift to a schedule that would leave me a little room for error.

One Last Delay

Okay, I had a post about Starbucks all worked out but someone informed me that they don't take kindly to posting anything with their logo on it online or something? Apparently it's not cool even if you're helping them out by offering superior ad campaigns. So now I have to fix that but I am way too tired tonight. I'll do it when I get back from a two-hour drive early tomorrow. I'm dedicated, I promise, I'm just also busy.

Coming Attractions

I know I've been falling behind, I'm a little busy at the moment. There should be a new post sometime this afternoon, and then another one tomorrow.

Here is a sneak preview:

Postponed: Fixing the Worst Commercial

I just... I just need more time on that one. Because, I mean, seriously.

I'll post a real update for today in a little bit; I'm writing it right now.

The State of the Blog (Part Two): About Reading This Blog

(To read more about what's going on with my side of the blog, go here)
(If you're looking for Wednesday's actual post and not this crap, click here)

Here's the thing. I'm a bit of a freak for communication. I love feedback and comments and I love knowing that I'm talking to engaged people, which is why I'm a Justice of the Peace.

Anyway, there's a couple things I've done to make it easier for you to give me feedback or ideas. We'll get to them after the jump:

The State of the Blog (Part One): What's Up With Nimby

(Part two, which is more about you, is here)

Okay, I split this up into two posts because one part of it focuses on my end of the blog and the other focuses on your end of the blog. If you only read one of these two posts (though I can't imagine a non-ridiculous situation in which that was a requirement), read part two.

Okay, so I'm a little in a bind here. I'm super-busy with stuff to do and I have at least four posts lined up but I can't post any of them yet because most of them hinge on pictures taken at places I don't have time to get to right now.

Don't worry, this isn't the update for Thursday, it's more like a little bonus post, especially since today's was a little on the short side.

Anyway, I thought that to make up for not getting to read these things right away, you should take a look at the tantalizing things awaiting you by giving you a few random and probably misleading words per post. At least one (1) of these posts is going to be published this week unless some great magnificent other thing comes along, so it's not like all of these are great posts just waiting to be published. And, I mean, some of the ones that are delayed may not be fantastic either (this is called "lowering the audience's expectations"). See more of things after the jump:

Update delayed (UPDATED)

until at least 5:30 Eastern Time. See second paragraph. In the meantime, feel free to suggest whatever but know that I may very well not do it at all. I kind of feel like talking about how horrible a certain commercial is, but I'm not sure it can be saved. See third paragraph.

update: Okay, the post has been delayed until tomorrow. I'm switching over to a format where instead of writing posts in the day and then just posting them whenever, I'm writing and posting them at late night so they're here for you when you get up in the morning. So it was either pull together a really lazy update, try to do two long updates in a row (which would have killed me because I've got other stuff to do), or do nothing, so I chose to do nothing because I'm a perfectionist and if I'd tried for a lazy update it would have led to the "two updates in a row" thing.

Also, I have no idea what to write about, so suggest something, please. The only rule is that you can't suggest what someone else has already suggested; this isn't a vote so much as an auction (idea most conducive to a good post wins).

Update Schedule

I'm going to try to update every day, even if it's just pictures of baby sloths or red pandas (don't look them up, that will deprive me of material). As far as substantial updating goes, I don't know. I'm currently trying to establish a "buffer" of articles so that if I ever get writer's block I'll have a little time to get over it, but I'm also trying to start a blog so my buffer of articles currently contains a very precise 0.

This is the update for today, sorry. What's sad is I wrote it yesterday and held it back because I knew I wouldn't have anything for today.

The day's not over, though, there's still a chance.

EDIT: Totally not the update for today! I am currently researching Korean temples and decided to share some of the cool photos, so you're in luck! The internet likes hilarious photos of Korean temples doing crazy things, right?

beginning a blog

My problem with blogging is that no matter how many insightful, unique, witty, sparkling, etc. things I have to say, when I sit down at the keys they all vanish. So basically I'll be powering this blog with some old stuff, some previously-written-but-hitherto-unreleased stuff, and hilarious photos of goldfish for the time being until the backlog tricks my brain into thinking that I actually have a blog and that I can then maintain it. So buckle up for the ride! It will be moderately exciting.
