Over the next week, self-aggrandizement will be transforming. Not just physically, but philosophically as well. In short, for better or worse, s-a will cease being a weblog, returning (in a retro-chic move) to a more static, hierarchical structure.

As bloggers go, I’m sort of an old hand; I’ve been maintaining a weblog (in one form or another) for about four years. And over that time, I’ve come to realize the medium often leads me to write less than my best. I don’t edit sufficiently, and (worse) often end up posting short, crappy entries for fear of falling too far behind a regular posting schedule.

Which is why I’m switching back to a format that places more lasting value on content. Content that will still be updated and added to regularly, but hopefully content that’s a bit more substantial. Ideally, content that’s funnier and better written. Articles, essays, interviews. And, yes, more from-the-trenches tales of NYC dating exploits and misadventures.

Trust me. It should be good.
