I have decided to create a new site aside from the original Gekko Dot Org site. Before any erroneous conclusions are drawn, I will state that Bret and I are still great friends, and GDO will remain intact. However, I’ve decided that in order for me to focus on what’s most important to me- the writing- I needed to break away from the main GDO site. Fear not, kiddies– I am sure that I will still write the occasional feature for the Mother Site. I am simply advising readers everywhere that GDO-R is my new pet project, and Gekko Dot Org will continue to be in Bret’s charge. The main reason I am doing this is because there is currently no easy way to make posts to the regular GDO website. It always ends up being a 45-minute affair to make even the tiniest post. In any event, the goal of GDO-R is to eliminate this difficulty as an excuse for me (Michael/Mikey- whichever you prefer) to slack on my writing. Because of the tool I’m using has a user-and-slacker-friendly (one of those two classifications I fit into- I’ll leave it to you to determine which) interface, I will be able to make posts more frequently and with much greater ease.
What exactly can you expect from GDO-R? Well, much like when comparing Apocalypse Now: Redux to the original film, you can expect much the same thing as before, with a few minor tweaks and a remastered soundtrack. In other words, you will see more rants on my life, more reviews of crap, and (gasp) possibly some fiction. That being said, look out, world! The wheels are in motion! Michael’s out to take you by storm!
–Post over, Mikey out.
