I’ve had a lot of blogs over the years, including Fistful of Plooble, which I started in 2003 and in a lot of ways is the best thing I’ve ever done that isn’t running around in short pants and pulling the cat’s tail. Sadly, it languished in neglect for years, once I found that I could not spend all day blogging after I managed to land a job. We all make sacrifices, I suppose.
As of this moment I have Fistful of Plooble on TypePad, where it began, and a version of it on WordPress.com that I ported over when I thought I was going to shut the TypePad one down. Then I got cold feet. Why? Well, for one thing, it’s the number four Google search result for the phrase “beach house names.”
And I care about that why?
Then I started a “personal work” blog at WordPress.com and found that all I was doing was reposting from my SAS social media blog.
Then I decided I needed a digital business card, and to get the one I wanted, I needed a self-hosted WordPress account, which GoDaddy made very easy. And once I had that, why not add /blog, and have my blog there as well?
So that’s what this is. And I’ve pulled in all the content from Plooble and my personal work blog. Maybe I’ll post things here that I say on Facebook. Or pull the things I post here into Facebook. Or maybe I’ll set up and endless loop that will ultimately devour the universe.
