Well here it is everybody my 400th post since restarting this blog on March 6th 2013
That's more posts in about 4 years than I believe I posted in the entire ten
years previously. This may be the longest in my life I have kept up at a hobby.
A lot of these posts are low effort. I mean 52 posts a year are music
Mondays, but I really like those posts. I enjoy cataloging interesting music I
hear throughout the week. I often go back and listen to old ones. I've toyed
with the idea of writing a little explanation of why I've chosen that song.

I have been disappointed with the
that was the week posts but I still really like the initial intention. They are
meant to be a record of my life so that I can look back in the future and
remember. I originally started writing something about every day. Lately it's
become a quickly typed up memory of a single event or two. I want to keep doing
them but my try something different. I don't know if any of you, my few reader,
enjoy them at all but they are really for me.
What is the point of the blog? Right
now, it is just for me. It is a log of bits of my life. It could be many other
things. I could use it to make money and get famous. I could use it to inform
and educate; become a real Slackers Guide to Life. If I really wanted to draw some
eyeballs I would start up a political blog. I could go either snarky
conservative or resistance the evil fascist. what probably
wouldn't sell would be a dispassionate intelligent look at the complex issues
of modern government. That's the problem my political posts always seem in
the middle when people want frothing at the mouth irrationality. I might
be better off restarting my tech blog. It shocked me with the views it drew.
Right now, I have only decided for
sure on two things going forward. I am not going to stop and I am going to
switch back to wordpress at some point in the future. It is just a superior
platform.
