I lost count. I’ve been blogging since 1999 and have been sharing pretty much anything and everything for the last 26 years. The blog, my opinions and topics have changed so much in all those years (I guess people DO change) that I often just get rid of it all every couple of years. I do back up of course, to throw it on the digital pile of memories that will collect electric dust for decades to come never to see the day of light ever again.
With all the things going on in the world, I feel it might be better to keep my digital self mostly on European soil (my physical self as well if we follow European guidelines for travel), so I’ve been cleaning up not only this website but also my social media presence and any websites that’s hosting things I thought was a good thing to share. I deleted my Facebook, Twitter and Instagram account years ago, but I’ll be keeping my recently new Instagram for music purposes.
But I do miss an outlet, and even though it’s best to keep opinions to yourself, I do want to share a thing or two once in a while. Therefore, this blog/site. Once again. Rebooted.
Expect posts on research, video games and of course my music. Not much to see for now… Just short posts that linked to stories on Medium. I had moved all my blogging there (after a viral deepfakes post made hosting this blog expensive) and well, that’s gone now too.
Anyway, not sure if blogging is still popular. We now all want those 3 seconds video reels on those easy to digest social walls. But here’s to the few who surf the web with a real purpose and full awareness. Welcome fellow human!
