arlo.uoa

I decided to stop talking about Macs on LYRC. Many people said that I should write about whatever I want and not be a little bitch about it. Others said that I shouldn't censor LYRC, and that should include censoring myself.

So I came up with a two-tiered compromise. Step one started last week with the introduction of Open Thread Thursday. Now censorship is completely gone, opening up the topics of discussion to everyone, not just me, Kelly, and Richard.

As for Mac discussion. Obviously, I have a problem, and I need to address it. I can't allow myself to get in any more fights with friends or strangers over something as ridiculous as the computer I use. It's not healthy.

I need to deal with my addiction. And it's the age of the Internet, so why not deal with it publically?

Introducing arlo.uoa.

Now, I know what you're itching to type in the comments. "Arlo picked up his toys and left like a baby." This is not the case. I'm using this new blog for one singular purpose: to talk about Macs and my unhealthy obsession them. I'm going to face this addiction head-on. It's time someone out in cyberspace talking about Macs told the truth: that it's just a computer. I'm fulfilling what I see as a specific need, for myself and maybe others, and LYRC is not the place for that.

I'm not abandoning LYRC. This is still my blog home. I still have plenty to say here, I can assure you. arlo.uoa is something that needs simply to happen. For my sanity. For yours.
