Why I still keep a blog

Every few years someone declares blogs dead, and every few years I find myself writing one anyway.

A post here stays where I put it. Nobody rearranges it, nobody decides who gets to see it, and in ten years the link will still work, because the address is mine.

Three things I’ve learned:

1. Write the short thing now instead of the long thing never.
2. Pictures need words, even if only a line.
3. Old posts are embarrassing and that’s fine.
