Projects

As I wrote yesterday on my tech blog, I’m seriously feeling the need to work on some techie projects. I think I just need the outlet and the challenge to balance the non-challenges I have with work right now. Also, like I did on that site, I wanted to give you all the opportunity to have some input:

“I’ve got a number of things in mind for this site and the Child Abuse site, but no firm decisions on what I really want to accomplish. I’ll keep you informed as we go along, but in the mean time, what do you want to see here, or there? More interactivity? More community? Do you want less of my thoughts and more links? Do you think the abuse site needs some community around it? Do you want to forget you ever saw this site? 🙂 I’m willing to listen to most ideas. I’m not promising I’ll actually follow through on any of it, but I’ll listen. ”

So what do you say?

  • Side effects?

    In looking through my referrer logs, in among the various other search terms that people have used to find this site, I noticed that someone was searching for “side effects of child abuse”. Excuse me, but wtf? Side effects? I’m sorry, but to me side effects are something that you get when you’re trying to…

  • Quick Thought #22 – Kate Middleton and Filling in the Blanks

    Most of the time, we don’t know what people are dealing with, but even when we do know, they may react to trauma and stress in ways that don’t make sense to us.

    That’s life. That’s being human; being mature means accepting and being comfortable with it – not trying to fill in all the blanks yourself.

  • Enjoy the Details

    Healing is a long journey. It’s easy to see what you think is the result of healing, whatever that looks like for you, and measure yourself by the fact that you aren’t there yet. I’d disagree with that. Not that you shouldn’t have an eye on the prize, so to speak, but you need to see the details, and you need to enjoy the details.

  • Accepting Love

    Annaleigh is hosting this month’s Carnival Against Child Abuse, and since it is the month of Valentine’s Day, she added the topic of Love to the Carnival lineup. One of the things that takes a while to learn, and yet in retrospect seems so silly, is how often survivors, in their struggles with self-esteem, spend…

  • Leveraging Technology

    As I’m sure you all know, I’m very interested in the idea of leveraging technology when it comes to spreading the word about child abuse, whether that be by getting the facts out in the open, or making sure that survivors know they are not alone. That’s why I have this site. That’s also why…

  • Private Hells

    I saw this post at Robert Scoble’s today, where he talks about the private struggles of people’s lives. Lives that you might be tempted to assume are quite perfect, but which really aren’t. It reminded me very much of why this blog exists. I spent so many years feeling like I was the only person…

  1. Mike,

    Hi. I think that you should do whatever you would like with the site. One thing I appreciate about your site and might like to see expanded is a greater sense of community of survivors.

    Just my 2 cents

  2. Leah, that’s exactly what I was thinking, trying to create more of a community, I’m just not sure exactly how to get that “community” feel? I’m working on some things though!

  3. Hi Mike,
    I have been lurking around, reading your blog for several months. You are doing a fine job. Don’t stop writing your personal thoughts, that is my favorite part. Hang in there…..Penny

  4. Thanks for the comment Penny, and don’t worry, this part of the site isn’t going anywhere, the blog will always be part of it, I’m just trying to think through how to make the site feel more like it’s your site, and how you can contribute.
