If you’re new to this weblog, you may have been redirected here from a stale link of many years ago. You see, over the past decade or so I’ve leisurely toyed around on the web, maintaining various websites, and experimenting with various ideas. This post marks the culmination of my effort to consolidate my online self into one location. Of the old domains that I still own, I have now redirected them here.
The result is that I see a not insignificant amount of traffic to this website. This is great; having a website that many people visit challenges me to create interesting things. (Whether or not anyone cares about it is another matter.) My challenge now is to think of the genre that I want to write about, and the types of things people will read. Those who stumble upon this page are almost certainly of the techno-culture crowd, so my immediate vector is in that direction.
What I will not do is relate personal stories, comment on memes, or throw my voice into any discussion that is already too big. My intent is to make this weblog worthwhile to everyone who reads it—not just for friends or family, and not just for those who care only about something specific or obscure.
I’ve never really had a personal weblog before, so I guess we’ll see how it goes. Hopefully the fresh redesign and transition to Wordpress will be a catalyst to keep me on top of things. In summary, my rules:
- Stay fresh.
- No journaling, no meming.
- Be original. Be useful.
Many thanks to those that visit.
