Not to belabor the point, but why oh why, nearly 25 years after I first started writing words on the Internet, am I back at this blogging thing again? Mostly, I think, it’s because Twitter – once and future Twitter, but Twitter no longer – used to allow me to scratch that itch of tossing ideas and links out into the void and occasionally interacting with others tossing around their own ideas and links.
But Twitter imploded. Facebook is and always has been useless for real weblogging (in addition to perpetually toxic and occasionally genocidal). I’m not hip to the TikTok or the Snapchat. In fact, in general, BigTech, ad-driven, social media just doesn’t suit me for much of anything. And although my small personal chat groups and slack groups help, I find I still I want a space where I can put stuff; you can read it (if you want); and maybe we can chat a little about it in the comments or on the ‘don.
That’s all.
Welcome – and if you’ve been around these here intarwebz with me for awhile – welcome back!
