<rant>i find blogging very hard. the exercise of creating a narrative -- putting it together for other people --
when I write a blog, I always get a sinking feeling that nobody is reading - and it's probably true. however, the more I talk to people the more I get hurt for not having these thoughts written down everywhere.
there once was a time when it was hard to tell a story. publishers offered a platform for people to distribute their own content. the limitations of their resources led to competition for people submit their material to them. this is how we get Harper-Collins.
these days with the Cloud, Heroku, Amazon AWS, and so on, we can publish whatever rag we want and the WHOLE WORLD has access to it. for the first time in history information has become cheap.
with this unprecedented amount of information available -- every CD I have every purchased is on youtube. Or else it's on Spotify.
with instagram and wordpress everyone has a chance to tell their story. we are able to find common ground in exactly the way we want. most of the time we just play Candy Crush Saga.
my lingering doubt... with all this crap available, should I add to the mix? I thought the answer was no, but it seems to be yes. </rant>
