resurgent multichotomy

Back to blogging.. yes?

I’ve been blogging since 2003 during Xanga’s heyday, chronicling my work life shuttling to and from Japan, and in 2005 moved on to Blogger where I professed unspeakable cheesiness that I wouldn’t be caught dead with those attached to my name, among other things.

In late 2007, I took my blogging to another level by registering my own domain name, and set forth to end multichotomy — a term I defined to describe my multifarious, ofttimes conflicting personality traits. allanko.com featured many different aspects of me: my penchant for food, technology, and music, as well as snapshots of my opinions, sensibilities, and convictions.

The site piqued the interest of a then-growing local foodie population with my independent, personal restaurant reviews, and soon I found it morphing into an almost exclusively all-food blog. The site traffic was so high that it took a life of its own with a solid reader base.

Alas, I had to shut the blog down. I did not like the direction where it was heading, so in December 31 2009 allanko.com (and its derivative, allanko.net) was off of cyberspace.

After 2 years, I decided to blog anew. A lot has changed from the time I stopped blogging, yet a lot’s still the same.

Join me as I rediscover my resurgent multichotomy.
