Moving to WordPress.com

I men­tioned yes­ter­day about how I was mov­ing my site to WordPress.com. If you’re read­ing this post then it’s now live and my DNS has prop­a­gated. I moved the site for sim­i­lar rea­sons that Daniel men­tioned the other day. We’re think­ing about col­lab­o­rat­ing on a… Continue read­ing →

My blog as a commonplace book

Greg Linch likes to talk about com­mon­place books. It’s even what he named his Tumblr. Basically, it’s a means of col­lect­ing and stor­ing all those bits of infor­ma­tion that make our lives inter­est­ing. It could be a photo, an essay, or a quote. Regardless, it’s… Continue read­ing →

A Return to Blogging. Max Cutler writes about what he’s been up to in the last 6 months and about how he’s going to start writ­ing more. I’m look­ing for­ward to what’s com­ing from his site.

A little truth leaks out

What’s remark­able about [David Frum, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, and Paul Krugman], what gives me hope that there may be a way out of the big­ger mess, of which this month’s melt­down is just a symp­ton, is that finally blog­ging is effec­tively rout­ing around MSM. If you… Continue read­ing →

Tweet For The Moment, Blog For The Ages

And a week or so later, when you try to remem­ber what you said at this party, that really ter­rific thing, you rack your brain, but can’t quite come up with it. That’s Twitter. The blog, on the other hand, is slow, reli­ably reference-able, and… Continue read­ing →

Notes for #J508

I drove down to Eugene today to chat with Suzi Steffen’s J508 — Reporting and Information Strategies class. It’s always a lot of fun talk­ing with Suzi’s classes and I think it’s awe­some that she brings in peo­ple to talk with her stu­dents. Something I… Continue read­ing →

Gopher dead, blogging lives

But try to imag­ine replac­ing Daring Fireball, Scripting News, Apple Outsider, Shawn Blanc, or any of a num­ber of great blogs with some­thing like Twitter. You can’t. You’d have to invent blogs so that these writ­ers have some­where to write. If blogs are dead, what are… Continue read­ing →

Evan Williams on blogging

But that made sense to me because it was not that the tech­nol­ogy was new, it was that we had fig­ured out this medium, at least one of the native forms of what the Web was good for. It was about fresh­ness and about fre­quency,… Continue read­ing →

An Ode to Software

Put another way, writ­ing a weblog full time is not unlike farm­ing. Lots of chores and lots of busy work that take up time every sin­gle day, but the fruit of that labor is sea­sonal. Shawn Blanc — An Ode to Software.
