It's Blogging Again

NOTE: ANY CONTENT ON THIS BLOG BEFORE THIS POST WAS DONE ALMOST A DECADE (OR MORE) PRIOR. AS SUCH, IT SHOULD BE TREATED AS IF IT WAS AUTHORED BY A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PERSON THAT YOU AND I SHOULD MOCK OPENLY.

So, at least once a day since December 20th, 2011, I have said out loud, “I should start blogging again.” This has been followed, every day since, by not blogging. I guess I was just missing a home-anchoring pandemic to get me going again. Or, we’ll be mocking this post in 9+ years when we’re isolated at home due to a new virus that gives everyone donkey ears.

Regardless, I debated on whether or not to just throw away my old posts, as some (most? all?) of them are pretty bad and talk about tech that is no longer viable. However, there is a little internal voice that tells me keeping these old posts around is the right thing to do. So, I will. If for no other reason than to remind myself of how little I once knew so I never think I know enough. They are a flashing beacon that says “You, my friend, are no expert.”

And that’s OK. I don’t claim, nor do I need, to be an expert. I am hoping to just be a part of the conversation again.

Oh, and I wanted to try Hugo.
