There was a time when the internet was mostly static websites, blogs and bulletin boards. Those were the places where people shared things online.

Then came social media that radically transformed how content is shared and consumed online.

But even today blogs are still a thing.

While there are plenty of blog genres nowadays, the good old personal blog can also still be found in some corners of the blogosphere.

I read and follow a few such blogs. They are mostly personal spaces centered around the life of the person who curates it. These personal web logs are very much like a journal where people document their life and share stuff they like.

In fact, I’ve wanted to keep a personal blog myself for quite awhile. I thought about doing it many times. But for a variety of reasons, I never got to it … until now.

Now I effectively have a plan and a space to do so. So here I am finally getting started at it. This thing is currently still in its early earliest stages, but it looks like 2024 might be the year when I start blogging.

I’m pretty excited about it!
