So, yeah. Eleven years ago I basically stopped blogging. The reasons were many: three jobs, insufficient income, and I started a new gig that reminded me repeatedly and pointedly that having a public presence on the Internet if I was not paid to do so was a liability. Plus I’d gotten into alternative social media channels for a while, then abandoned them completely as I got immersed in my work and other hobbies.
But lately, I’ve found a lack of authentic voices on the internet. The Internet is such a clickbait-farming ad-supported wasteland of barely-readable text. When I try to read thoughtful articles, they are often surrounded top and bottom by ads around a meager fraction of a paragraph before I must scroll, tap, tap, tap, and scroll again to read the darn thing. Or I turn on “Reader Mode” and get the first paragraph and a subscription link so I can get more spamvertising in my inbox.
So anyway. Here’s my tiny little bump on the corner of the Internet, trying to provide valuable content that interests me. Frequency TBD. Topics TBD. But I hope you find it interesting.
