Another Blog

About 5 years ago I started a blog that I ran faithfully for 2 years until I got sick of it. I started it on Blogger and then moved the hosting to my own domain first using Movable Type and then using Pmachine.

I killed my blog because I got bored with it. But then I noticed a funny thing while trying to read other people's blogs. They bored the hell out of me and they didn't write about anything that I gave a damn about!

I haven't run a written word blog in over 2 years now. In my time off I've learned a few things.

  1. Trying to read a blog everyday written by someone that you don't know personally is boring.
  2. Google is the r0xx0r and using it to search blogs for specific topics is better and more productive than bookmarking a bunch of blogs and hoping that they write about something you give a damn about.
  3. Nobody writes on a consistent basis about things that I care about.
  4. Most people are horrible writers.
  5. Myspace sucks.
  6. I've never visited Facebook, but I'm sure it sucks too.
