.. due to a huge number of reasons, the incoherent ramblings podcast is no more.

While I could simply have 404′d it, that just plain annoys the shit out of me when I myself end up at some jerk’s 404 due to said jerk not having the good sense (or reason) to actually leave something in it’s place.

Thus while the podcast is gone (no doubt forgotten as well) in it’s place is the addition of an overhauled “shop window” in the form of a new home page - think simplistic portal, on acid. :)

While blogs have become all the rage, they have also become over-complexified works of modern art that are often virtually impossible to navigate, have far too many bells and whistles, and generally evolve into CSS mutations at the expense of actual content¹.

Granted - “I still feel the good in him” when it comes to a number of my daily reads, however I hate to say this (and am likely to receive much flack) but, while Michael’s work on K2 is very cool, his start into the overhaul (code named ‘invader’) of the ‘bonsai I’m afraid to say leaves me cold. He’s gone and done the one thing I never felt he would do - over-engineer for the sake of over-engineering, not for the sake of usability, form or function².

Thus begins the slow yet unyielding complete overhaul of incoherently dot net. The new shop front is just the start.

To be continued..

1. Be honest, how many blogs have you visited recently where content took a back seat to asides, latest entries, 4000 different pointless plugins and gaudy useless crap? In my case? Far too many. (↩)
2. I would go so far as to say incoherently.net itself has even started to slide down that slippery “must-have-pointlessness” slope. (↩)
