Tomorrow is oook blog's fifth anniversary, and what a long strange trip it's been. Dunno how to assess the blog's significance, since I have a constitutional aversion to conventional measures of "success" and I abhor counting hits or whatever. When you come right down to it, I've always thought of it primarily as a means to keep track of my changing attention (my magpie habits) for myself, and secondarily as a conduit for keeping informed of my doings the 20 or so people I think might be interested. Beyond that, I'm happy to occasionally discover that somebody has happened upon a posting via a search, or that some friend has pointed somebody to a posting.
I'm thinking about converting over to Word Press, but I don't have sufficient faith in my own geek skills to start the process. I've also thought of making some sort of Fundamental Change in presentation style or content, but I don't really have any positive reason to do that... so I think it'll probably just limp along in its increasingly vieux jeu format.
Posted by oook at March 5, 2009 07:48 PMThanks, oook, for the many fascinating windows on all sorts of worlds that I'd never have peeked through without your blog. I look forward to more of your great culls.
