Blogging

The ques­tion presents itself. Why update this blog at all? Why keep a jour­nal that is the very antithe­sis of ‘pri­vate,’ when I can empir­i­cally show that I have no audi­ence? I think, that for myself, the answer is multi-fold. First, I sup­pose that this exer­cise is exactly that; keep­ing my hand in the var­i­ous web tech­nolo­gies that power such a site. Secondly, I think that the archae­ol­o­gist in me rec­og­nizes a tiny attempt to leave some­thing that may be sifted out of the dig­i­tal mid­den of his­tory. A PHP and HTML dri­ven cry of “Killroy Was Here!” And I sup­pose that lastly there is some small futile hope that there really is an audi­ence. That some­one may yet hear the voice in the darkness.
