RC3:
Is the personal Web site a thing of the past? Contrast this with WDES’s Too Much Suckage. Tough queries to answer. Causes a certain amount of navel-analysis, for an old-school weblogger like myself. Particularly: “What actual value do I add to the already overcrowded metacosm, and is it worth the time I spend?” I’ve concluded my ‘human aggregator’ bit is woefully tired, passé. Such newsreading incrementalism is counterproductive to health, happiness and living a compelling life [unless you can do it in some gorgeous exotic location and get paid gobs of cash for it]. It’s devolved into automatic habit, rather than an eagerness to jump upon the issues of the day. Splitting hairs daily, only to find them pulled out whole later on - making such effort worse than useless. The old Taoist Chuang-tzu would say I’m just adding noise to the already-cacaphonous world; to do so is inauspicious, unwise, and fruitless. Perhaps I should drop to the one-comprehensive-post-a-day model, and see how that fares. I’ve talked about it multiple times, but having encountered these posts, I think I may undertake a sea-change this weekend.
