# New Blog Welcome to my new blog! I've been meaning to restart my blog for a long time... Late last year I re-launched my consulting business and I've been crazy busy since then (yes, this is a very good thing)! You may have seen me microblogging on [identi.ca](http://identi.ca/tmarble), but probably not this weekend as StatusNet is down for [maintenance](http://status.net/2011/09/16/status-of-upgrade-to-statusnet-1-0-0-on-identi-ca-and-statusnet-cloud). I'd like to make a shoutout to all the geeks that are lucky enough to be at [strangeloop](https://thestrangeloop.com/) this weekend! Stay tuned for more updates soon! --Tom
