Re-vamped Bitter Press
I found myself in quite the pickle just the other week. If you Google my name, you’ll find a bevy of Internet skeletons dating back to when I was just 15 or so. If anyone knows the danger of being called out for having bad or outdated info published on the web, it’s me.
So when my friend told me that he was probably going to ditch his hosting, I thought I would just let Bitter Press die. It had been a long, long time since I updated it, and there are plenty of skeletons in the archives.
Then I took a look at the number of hits it had built. And I realized, very worriedly, that people were still reading Bitter Press. Like, regularly. Like, a lot. So I decided I could do some more good by pushing the domain over to a free Tumblr account, and keep the information light and airy.
This means all the old posts are going to lose their photos. It’s true. What started as a very photo centric blog is now going to be much more text based. Part of it is just that the photos didn’t port over like I hoped they would, and uploading them again would be a chore. Mainly it’s because I don’t believe that most of what was up there really would do anyone any good.
So I’m tagging all previous posts as “OLD AND OUTDATED” to let people know that they should check publishing dates before processing the information provided, but I’m keeping the posts active and up on the blog for the time being, because I think there is some worth in looking back at where we came from.
I’ve been itching to do a bit more writing again recently, and I think I’m moving a bit further away from straight writing about coffee brewing, and more towards essay style posts. We had a preview of that in the post titled “The Work Vs. The Weight.”
Stay tuned.
