  What is the impact of a blog? James’ post The long view of a blog is a terrific first read of the day for me today. New month. New week. New day. New UTC time offset. And it’s about one of my favorite questions, “what does my website mean to me?” The modality and presentation of content is part of the long view of...

  Something New In 2007 I read a blog post and got applause at an event my ex created called LA Bloggers Live. That lasted less than a year but folks had fun at it. Public speaking was fun and terrifying in equal measure. Blogging has created for me so many distinct and peculiar opportunities! Things changed since...

  Professional Space / Personal Space It’s not either or, professionalism and personal life. They don’t cleanly demarcate. There’s a tv show called Severance whose conceit is that one can have a personal life that stays personal, and then when a person goes to work–that life is utterly different–in fact, one forgets entirely about their other life and starts fresh. In...

  Blogger Redirects, Linkrot & Writing I have been reading blogs a long time. And I’ve been writing for a long time too. Today at the IndieWeb pop up event focused on writing I had reason to remember when I got linked to on Boing Boing. It a list of links I had collated, but it was to my old blog...

  On drawing for blog posts Mandaris Moore wrote: I don’t normally have an image because I’m not very confident in my drawings and the friction of creating it, resizing it, posting it, and then putting it on the post saps a little bit of the joy for a post that may only be a couple sentences long. I agree with...

  Delete Your Drafts on Leap Day! or not! As of this writing I have 8 drafts in WordPress. Some of them are more than a year old. Aaron Jorbin has a post called Leap Day is Delete Your Drafts Day! Jeremy Felt replied with a post saying that he would be participating. He wrote something I identify with: Some drafts are fun markers...

  Today marks 23 Years Blogging I started blogging 23 years ago today, with this post. What’s different from then to now? My mother is no longer alive. I’m not married, I’m divorced. Twice since then. Much happier. I’m more likely to admit to being a artist than I was then. I am not ashamed to collect toy robots. I swim...

  How many words? Whither Blog Drafts? I’ve been playing with aggregate data on this blog for a while. I like to see what it all adds up to. The above sentences are dynamic. They will be up-to-date as long as this is a dynamically powered website. They work because I added a WordPress [shortcode] to this post. It runs some code...

  Mastodon! Back in 2019 I first heard of Mastodon. I saw this: a Pi Zero with stats back at XOXO in 2019. Since the Twitter changes, I’m using my Mastodon account more than my Twitter account. Simon Willison recently wrote Mastodon is just blogs, having blogged for twenty years I definitely feel that. Anyway, read Simon’s...

  I started blogging in late February 2001. Each line here represents a year of blogging, a line based on the count of posts per day with a bit of added noise added for aesthetic effect. I am fascinated by visualizations of data, and it was fun to toy with the aggregate counts of thousands of blog posts over time and see an image develop. It’s not what I expected it to look like as I exported data from my WordPress instance, but it definitely catches my eye. Inspired by Peter Saville’s iconic album cover for Joy Division’s album Unknown Pleasures. That artwork was based on data from a pulsar.
