A new direction
I decided that it is useful to write about what I’m working on, or, maybe more indirectly, about topics relating to what I’m working on. Writing works well for me to sort through and work through ideas, and allow things to flesh themselves out. There’s sort of a golden thread, or multiple threads, that weave themselves through what I write and what I write about.
I was a big blogger in the early 00s. The world was different then. There were lots of other bloggers on my blogroll, who would read what I wrote, and I would read what they wrote, and we would quote each other, and comment on posts, etc. For a variety of reasons, that isn’t really happening today. The Blogosphere deteriorated, fell apart. There are, of course, still people blogging, but it is not the same. So, I’m very aware that when I write here, the same things won’t happen. Hundreds or thousands of people are not going to read my post today and thing about it, and comment on it. That’s alright. I will write for my own reasons. It might be useful to others, or it might not. Doesn’t really matter.
And what am I working on, exactly? I am not going to try to put that into a sentence or a paragraph at this point. In part because I maybe can’t, in part because it, by its nature, needs to be a bit mysterious and ambiguous.
