Chris WiegmanI’ve been blogging longer than I’ve been on social media. While posts here go back to 2008, I started writing online around 1997 and it took me a while to realize I could migrate between platforms rather than start over.
Other than this blog I’ve ran a few others on specific topics. Blogging is the one medium where I feel like I can be myself, online or off and for that I am forever grateful.
When I’m not working on one of my own blogs I’m consuming content from one of the dozens of blogs I follow. I’ve been using RSS as my primary way of getting news for so long that I can’t remember when I started. It’s the one way where I feel like I can get to know the people I follow on social media and I love every single blog I follow.
The more human a blog is, the more I’m drawn to it. I don’t want to see people shilling for their employer, I want to know them. Blogs are about being human, in an error of AI and big tech they might be the last place where people can be human and that makes them all wonderful.
