What a whirlwind
month I have had! As I write this I am sitting in a small café in the tiny town
of Morwell in rural Victoria, Australia, about two hours from Melbourne by car
or train. I arrived here just yesterday after flying back from Hong Kong. Prior
to that I spent three days in China and a month in Thailand.
So what
am I doing here? The short answer is that I am staying with my younger brother
till I get settled. And getting settled may take some time! There are no more
than 5000 people in this town, I’d estimate. It makes a huge contrast to the
hustle and bustle of Hong Kong, where I lived for the past eight years.
My plan
is to stay in Australia. Maybe. It depends on what opportunities open up – here
or elsewhere.
Inevitably
during big changes in life, many things change. Much has to pass away in order
for the new to arrive. And a few things you just have to kill off!
So now
is the time to announce that I will be killing off this blog (and parts of the old me), and also my
website www.mindfutures.com. Looking
at that site, it appears to be what a futurist’s site would have looked like 15
years ago – the blog of a futurist stuck in the past! The other problem is that
I have too many sites and my stuff is scattered all over the net on about seven
different domains. So…
I am
opening a new all-inclusive site - www.mind-futures.com
- where everything will come together in one convenient and exciting place.
The new site will include a blog very similar to this one. It should be up by the end
of the week. Mind-futures.com will use a wordpress theme, so it will be far
more interactive and dynamic than my old site and this blog. It will be able to
support a much greater range of media, including video and audio.
I wear
a few different hats: futurist, mystic, academic, writer, educator... So there
will be different parts of the new site for all these things. I am also going
to include a “news” section, where I will post links to news and media stories
related to Deep Futures – all the things that I am interested in. Of course I
am hoping that it will appeal to a wider audience than this blog’s, and especially
to my old mindfutures site, which was really just a place where I put up all my
research papers.
I look
forward to seeing everyone on www.mind-futures.com!
Blessings,
Marcus
This is a good move, I clicked on the first link and it took me to a nice first glance experience. (The other links didn't work the same.)
ReplyDeleteOur primary message at: http://authormarketing101.blogspot.com/
is to integrate your online presence into one primary link, one primary message or theme, that can be used everywhere. Technology doesn't always cooperate so make sure and update your profiles to include that one primary website.
Test it out on someone else's computer and internet connection to see what your audience will see. Good luck!
Hi Terri. www.mind-futures.com will be up in a day or two, if you were referring to that link.
