I loved having a personal web site when I was a teenager… but then the internet became all about commerce and I sorta jumped on that bandwagon. I got fed up a few months back and needed a creative outlet so I launched a new personal web site, part of that being a blog.

I love writing for it! It’s different from journaling because someone else could find it. I know the feeling of discovering someone else’s personal blog, and it’s incredible. I love knowing that I’m writing and creating things that could do that for others.

I have no idea if anyone else is reading and, if so, how many people are reading. I don’t have any analytics set up, and that’s intentional. I don’t want to track people, and I don’t ever want to make a decision about my web site based on that data.

The old web was magical. There was something special about discovering a new web site and knowing that it only existed because someone’s passion was too much to contain and had to spill out onto the internet. That’s what I’m trying to recreate with my site.
