TheLifeAlaska.com

I moved TheLifeAlaska.com from Wordpress to Blogger today, so if you've got a link or a bookmark, you'd be wise to either change it to http://thelifealaska.blogspot.com or use thelifealaska.com as a redirector. One of these days I'll write some code (or have it written for me) and host the project outside of a free service, but until then, you get what you pay for. Incidentally, if you're wondering why I changed, I find Blogger much more friendly to customization and it ties better with my personal blog.

Unnatural

I woke up wondering why the sun hadn't woken me up earlier as it has for weeks now. It isn't typically dark at 6am. There is a strange look to the day. Lots of forest fires around South Central Alaska (I blogged about them on The Life Alaska yesterday) and there's enough smoke in the air to make it seem like fog. I'll be down on the Kenai tomorrow and will make sure to get some pictures. But I should really take some pictures of the yellow haze that makes it look like I'm wearing yellow polarized lenses. Unnatural.

Today I posted my first post to launch a new digital medium. It's called The Life Alaska. I've made reference to it vaguely over the last few months, but I decided today is the day to get it started. Stop by and get involved, it will only evolve from here. I'll add the RSS feed from The Life Alaska to the sidebar of this blog so you will know when something new is there to discover.

Sneak Peek...

The Life Alaska is a concept I’ve had rattling around in my head for years. It started with TheBLBinAK website (now defunct) and came back into light when the explosion of blogs captured me in 2004. If you read my old blog back in the summer of 2005, it was loaded with notes on fishing trips and Alaskan adventures. Blogging had a whole different feel and meaning to me back then. My 16 month hiatus in California gave me a fresh perspective on where I’d like to go not only with blogging but also with the whole digital media realm. Over the next couple of weeks, The Life Alaska will begin to grow, develop and evolve. Other people will become involved…some already know about it and some have yet to discover their participation. My goal is to document digitally what it means to live The Life Alaska by taking sights, sounds, feels, stories, places and people and sharing them with other Alaskans and people around the world.
