Welcome to the new GearHead homepage. I’ve decided to go all Web 2.0 and turn it into a blog. Here you’ll be able to find release announcements, development notes, concept sketches, and whatever else I decide to post.

I’ve been putting off this move for a while. I don’t really like changing things, because it usually means I’ll have to do work.

The danger comes into it when you fail to deal with change. You need to acknowledge that reality isn’t always going to match your expectations.

So, does that mean that you should fear the new homepage? No, it just means that I’m rambling incoherently… which means that this really must be a bona fide blog. Welcome to the site. Feel free to leave comments, or visit the forum for an even more interactive experience.
