Been kind of lazy about updating the blog 🖥

Been kind of lazy about updating the blog 🖥

Some of it is I am on vacation, some of it is my internet on my phone 📱 is spotty at camp ⛺ and some of it is I’ve been using my other camera 📸 to take pictures – though not as many as some years because I’ve not been to as many new places this year.

Why I only post political content on my blog 🎤 👤

Why I only post political content on my blog 🎤 👤

I do not post anything political onto social media and have been known to delete political comments or even whole posts when discussions become political. But not the blog.

Why not? Because I have complete control of the blog, where content appears, how it is framed. I can freely adjust and revise posts later on. I have complete control over comments, all comments on the blog are moderated before approval unless I have previously cleared the user to post on the blog. Comments also don’t appear on the homepage, only individual subpages. Very different from social media.

And … I just don’t like how angry and mean spirited a lot of social media is these days.

The Blog 20 Years Ago

How did I see the world as teenager, 20 years ago? I found an old copy of the blog with it's humble roots as hand-coded static HTML pages that I thought would be interesting to share here.

Old Photos

Lately I’ve been going through my blog, looking at old photos and deciding which ones I should I re-feature and which I should cull.

I have a lot of old photos, some of which aren’t that great or are duplicates and really don’t make sense to keep on the blog. I really want to add new and interesting photos and sometimes it good to get rid of the old.
