EnglishWhat “Magic Times” and “2020 Vision Nouveau Blog” Mean on mikemaginot.com
Updated
On mikemaginot.com, “Magic Times” is the name of the site's journal/blog, and “2020 Vision Nouveau Blog” appears as a labeled blog section or project within it. Both labels come from the page's own headings and menu text, so they identify parts of Mike Maginot's personal site rather than separate products or services. The page gives no further explanation of either name, so anything beyond that—such as a stated theme, launch date, or purpose for the “2020 Vision” label—is not documented on the page itself.
What the page shows
The site presents itself as a personal journal and archive. Its visible structure includes:
| Label on the page | How it appears |
|---|---|
| Magic Times | The site/journal heading and title |
| Magic Times Journal | A journal entry point in the site menu |
| 2020 Vision Nouveau Blog | A labeled blog item alongside the journal |
| Projects: In a World of Menus and Sidebars | A projects section |
| Memoirs, Film and Video Views, Film School, Short Takes, Book Reviews, Presentations | Content categories in the menu |
| Give It Your Best Shot, Film vs. Reality: Depression Era Theatre, In the Foothills | Listed pieces or sections |
| YouTube Channel, Facebook Page, Twitter | Links to off-site channels |
The footer reads “Magic Times Original Content Copyright 1999-2022, Mike Maginot,” and the site description is “Blogging Before There Were Blogs.” Together these indicate a long-running personal blog and writing archive.
Reading the two labels
“Magic Times”
This is the umbrella name for the site and its journal. The menu item “Magic Times Journal” and the page heading “Magic Times” both point to the same thing: the blog/journal itself, not a distinct feature. The copyright range (1999–2022) suggests the journal spans decades of entries.
“2020 Vision Nouveau Blog”
This appears as a separate labeled blog item next to the journal. On the page it functions as a named blog section or project. The wording suggests a blog introduced around or themed to 2020 (“2020 Vision”) with a “nouveau” (new) label, but the page does not state a start date, theme, or relationship to the main journal. Treat it as a labeled section of the site whose specific purpose isn't spelled out in the available page text.
Practical takeaway
If you're trying to understand the site's organization: “Magic Times” is the journal/site name, and “2020 Vision Nouveau Blog” is one labeled blog section within it. To see what each contains, open the corresponding menu items—the page text alone doesn't describe their contents. For the site's broader subject matter (memoirs, film and video, book reviews, theatre), the menu categories are the more reliable guide than either label.
