Starting a Blog

On Technology and Other Nerdy Shit

And it begins, as it usually does,
by having the guts to share something that’s half baked.
Seth Godin1

I am starting a blog.
I might irregularly publish some imperfect content that is irrelevant to most.

The looming Twitter death spiral shows that your content is not guaranteed to be durable and future-proof on other people’s platforms. So I will build the blog as a static website. Moreover, I will use the blog as a playground for some web technologies.

So here it is – my minimum viable blog.

Start small, start now
This is much better than, “start big, start later.”
One advantage is that you don’t have to start perfect.
You can merely start.
