Musings: New Beginnings

This marks the one-thousandth post for Kauai Eclectic, which seems a fitting time to move in a slightly different direction.

So let me introduce you to PIKO, my new site. It’s different than Kauai Eclectic in that it will be all original writing, which means no aggregating or linking and opining, and it will cover only island-related issues, with an emphasis on Kauai. In addition to new reporting, I’ll also be posting some previously published articles in an effort to create a partial repository of my work, as well as some prose pieces and poetry.

I’ll still be posting on Kauai Eclectic when I want to muse on any subject — including something I’ve posted on PIKO — and share my observations on nature.

I’ll always link from Kauai Eclectic to new posts on PIKO, and PIKO posts will link to Kauai Eclectic for those who want to comment. The PIKO site won’t accept comments.

I hope you enjoy PIKO, which can found at kauaipiko.blogspot.com, and I also hope you’ll continue to visit Kauai Eclectic.

And always, mahalo nui for reading and sharing.

    I love how the Piko text reads with the gentle irony of Michael Moore's narration in "Capitalism: A Love Story."

    You'd never see that story in the Garbage Island. Excellent first article, Joan! Corruption or incompetence, you decide.
