I spent a bit of time looking through the archive.org Wayback machine at my past web presence. My first experience running a website came in 1999. As far as I can tell, my first blogging was back in 2002, just as I was finishing High School. Of course it was not called “blogging” back then.
Probably the most interesting stuff to read is around my first year in college. That was a formative time when I was first exposed to Greek and a lot of new concepts. I can tell by what I wrote that the wheels were turning fairly quickly in those days. Yet those posts were for their own time.
I’ve jettisoned the vast majority of content which I have posted online. Some of it has been silly, some foolish, some of low quality, and some about which I have changed my mind. I suppose that frequently winnowing my blog posts is a good exercise in not taking myself too seriously. I wonder I’ll have kept around in another 11 years.
