Trying Something New
I'm going to try something new: set up a new blog. I've had a blog in some form or another since roughly 2000, first on Movable Type, then on Tumblr1, then on WordPress, then on Jekyll, then on WordPress again. I never really liked WordPress, though. Too much bloat, too much stuff I don't need, and the basic things I wanted didn't exist.
I discovered Bear a few days ago and I think it'd be fun to just give it a try. It feels old school in the best possible way, returning to a pre-social media era of the Internet.
Who knows if I'll actually post anything here. I've basically stopped posting anything online, but it'd be nice to have a place to share things I find interesting outside of the cacophony of social media.
In my very humble opinion, Tumblr circa 2008-2010 was an excellent blogging platform.↩
