yet again, a new focus

This weblog will be one year old tomorrow. About three weeks ago we decided that it should take on a different tone. We became quite self-righteous and planned on making this site the one stop shop for Buddhist resources on the internet. In fact we went so far as to write out a mission statement: Provide an ongoing, current look at what is happening with Tibetan Buddhism and the Internet. A zeldman.com for Buddhists, Blue Jean Buddha for the Internet. The place to discuss what it’s like for (mostly) younger American practitioners. How the current social, political and economic situations affect the way Americans practice. Continuing in the personal weblog style, but with a more focused purpose and playing for a larger audience.

We don’t doubt that a resource like this would be invaluable to the world. It should be done correctly, though. A domain should be purchased. A group of individuals all in collaboration should be making the posts. In other words, it should be done correctly. It is a task we would like to head up someday, but for now we just enjoy writing for the fun of it. Maybe some friends or family will read this site. Maybe not. Maybe we are the only ones who ever read it. The goal now is to create a well written, fun site with no higher purpose. No major goal. Entertainment for entertainment’s sake.

Oh, yeah… the site design has changed. In many ways. Details tomorrow.
