Twenty one years ago I got a wild hair and spent a steamy holiday Friday afternoon installing Movable Type.
I can’t tell you how long it took me to find and resize that image of a glass of milk.
It was revelatory, following some printed instructions to install some code on a server which would enable me to be just like Kottke. I read more than a handful of blogs back then, but he was the inspiration. The archetype of what blogs were.
I harbored hopes that I might get some traction as a poor-man’s kottke (or a “we have kottke at home” in modern parlance), but that didn’t pan out. I lacked the drive to post with the necessary consistancy (obvs.).
That said, I am glad to have had this blog as a place to occasionally burp a thought or photo into the world.
