TEN YEARS As of today I have been blogging for 10 years. Here’s my first post. I’ve had a website for 15 years now. In that time a lot has happened. I’ve gotten divorced. I’ve gotten married. I’ve been on the radio, twice. I became a stepfather. I’ve moved several many times. I founded several blogs and...

Back in March of last year, I wrote a long piece about Chris and I blogging over at nuevaciudad.tumblr.com. Well, We have not stopped. Just assume the good posts are all by Chris and not me....

nuevaciudad.tumblr.com Since September 2009 I, and my friend CPG have been posting photos and videos to New City: nuevaciudad.tumblr.com. It’s been a great chance for me to try out Tumblr.

Not server software, but applications which allow you to compose your blog and post when you have online access. I was not very impressed by any of them, but then I also...

Blogquitting Another unearthed post, half-thought, half-written, and now posted, post-dated. I suppose some folks can just quit blogging. The main story of bloggers who stop blogging is that they can’t actually stop. I’m not talking about the sad characters who read they need a blog, do it for a week and then their sites sit on...

ArtLung Blogpost Count MAS did it, then JeSais did it, and heck, I was curious.

No longer posting there much since I sold it. ronny...

Eloquent Defense of Kidblogging Heather “Dooce” Armstrong has had a busy few weeks. The book she edited was released, she went to New York and came back, and she appeared on National Television™. Hidden in among all that activity is as eloquent a defense of blogging about your kid as I’ve ever read, and it’s well worth reading for...

Movable Type Open Source Movable Type went open source yesterday, and I don’t care. Too little, too late. A long time ago, it seemed like MT was the way to put together a blog. It was free for personal use, it was good, it was used by heavyweights of blogging. But I could never get past two things: the...

Where There’s a Misc There’s a Way The language in this is not safe for work, but the sentiments are important: How to Irritate and Annoy People in the Name of Blogging A lot of people I know or know of are blogging about the fires in San Diego: Sassy, JeSais, MAS, MissEwon, Chuck, and Geoff. Also, people I haven’t met: Raph...
