Earlier, I discussed changing the name of the blog. Now I’ve made a decision: Greatplay.net is now going to be EveryDayUtilitarian.com:

Therefore, you get Everyday Utilitarian, or my blog dedicated to my quest to become just that… an everyday utilitarian, or someone who seeks to put utilitarianism into their everyday life. This blog will definitely focus on the abstract debates you frequently see on philosophy blogs. But it will be a bit more than that. There will be self-improvement and lifestyle building as I craft my everyday utilitarianism. And there will be some discussion of science as it can help build utilitarian communities and answer deep questions about ethics. And there will be political commentary from my utilitarian perspective.

There are other self-improvement sites out there. But I don’t have all the answers, and I’m not out to give you advice. Instead, this blog is a personal blog about a journey, where I work on my life and give you updates on how things are going. And it’s about a particular kind of life — one that seeks to put utilitarianism into practice and make the world a better place. Hopefully you’ll take something out of it and enjoy it.

Let me know.

Greatplay.net will still exist as an archive and I’ll still respond to comments here. However, Greatplay.net will no longer have any new essays added. Please update your bookmarks accordingly.

It was great writing here, but I look forward to the new era. I don’t think all that much will be different. “New look, same great taste”, as they say.

It’s quite clear to me already that work is piling up, so it must be time for the annual shut down of this blog right before finals. Greatplay.net will resume 3 4 May.

…Or will it? Rest assured, I won’t stop blogging permanently. But on 3 4 May, I’ll make an announcement as to whether this blog will get a new name.

It seems like Greatplay.net is going on break fairly often recently, but times have called for another break. The next essay will be on Tuesday, 9 Apr Friday, 12 Apr (things have been busier than I thought!).

Den Con just finished last Saturday and went spectacularly with 120 attendees. I’m having a bit too much work right now that has piled up from Den Con and feeling a bit of burn out and thus will take more time than usual to complete it. Therefore, the title says it all — Greatplay.net will be off until Wed 27 Mar.

As you can probably tell from light posting this week and the need to re-run an essay, things have been a bit too busy to blog. So I’ve decided that it’s best I take this week off from blogging to focus on my other, more immediate obligations. Greatplay.net will resume on Friday, 8 March 2013.
