While I inadvertently let the precise date slip by, I am now in my seventh year of resisting the use of the word “blog” to describe Hidden City. For your potential amusement, this is my first Blogger-based entry here, from July 11, 2000:
Even though I had heard about blogs for a while, the manifold impositions of work and what passes for life have kept me from actually investigating them. ‘Til now, anyway. An article on Webreview discussed them, and extolled their virtues as being the salvation of an overly commercialized Internet. (And those who know me know how easy it is to get me wound up on that particular topic. I am sure most of my friends are truly sick of hearing me say “Why, I remember when you would get flamed for even suggesting that someone be allowed to sell shit on the web!” But I digress…) Anyway, this is a first post, part of an ongoing effort to get some more use out of this domain of mine. And maybe have some fun, too. Thanks for playing.
Yeah, it makes me wonder why I kept going, too.
There will be more on this topic Tuesday.
