MyWHaT

It’s time to take a break. Sort of.

_

MyWHaT officially launched on January 4th, 2010. I wasn’t sure what to call the work at the time…An experiment? An exercise? A mission?  Just a BLOG? I’m still not certain.

Now it’s time for some internal evaluation. What worked? What didn’t? What can be stripped away and what needs to be added? What can be considered achievements?

These are just some of the questions to be asked during this 2-week period of R & D ->rest and development in honor of summer. Either way, I’ll be pulling back slightly from publishing and focusing more on learning. I have a pile of books, reports and articles waiting to be read. I also want to spend time drawing more Friday scribbles not to mention cleaning up some of the behind the scenes of the website-yikes.

Call it a working vacation

This doesn’t mean that MyWHaT is going offline or that there won’t be any new posts. The plan for the next two weeks is to keep it simple with a recycling of older posts (any requests?), quickly created & digested posts (imagery), and one or two possible guest contributor posts. Rumor has it Chester is set to return, Chester?

During this time, I’ll be seeking advice from my ad hoc advisory board, current and potential underwriters, key readers and anyone else with something to say. After the end of this 2 week period, I trust I’ll have a little clarity on the direction of the project work and the roll that this BLOG serves.

In the meantime, most of you won’t notice anything different except that the posts will be shorter and a tad less habitual. What readers can do for me is this?

1. Comment here, or send a message to me directly, with feedback on the first 6 months of MyWHaT. What content is the most compelling? What could you have less/more of? Any and all feedback is appreciated.
2. Do you have some images of yourself and your bike? MyWHaT is looking for your submissions to feature here during this time. send me a message. (I suppose walking shoes, long boards and goat carts work too).
3. Continue to visit and share the site with other readers. The one thing I’ve noticed since starting is that there is no shortage of people looking for ways to get out of the car and change the face of the community.

Talk to you soon.

Simplifying helps us to slow. And to see clearly.

Simplifying can also help us accomplish more. Less is more; take back your time.
