I still blog, non-anonymously just for the hell of it, less so than I used to due to the pandemic, but I still have my cooking blog (which contains no life stories), programming blog, personal blog (consisting of quips, jokes, movie reviews, music reviews, stupid comics and observations on life) and a few other outlets. Once I work through some things, I will blog some more and also make some more comic books. I still keep my musings reasonably weird. I also pull old stuff from my journals and transcribe them into blog posts, with appropriately old date attached. My public writings go back some 40+ years with actual blog posts going back 28 years since some of my personal websites began in 1995.

https://justinlloyd.li/blog/hippos-and-ducks-are-verbotten/ https://justin-lloyd.com/ - it's not a blog, it's my C.V., and it has a space invaders game on the web page. https://github.com/JustinLloyd/retro-chores - it's a software project written like a blog

Some people like it, other people tell me they hate it (usually the space invaders game (wow! much unprofessional!1!) and it makes me un-hirable. Oddly enough the people telling me I am un-hirable are usually the people I would never consider working for, who in the next breath also try to convince me I should take a sizable pay cut to work for them.

The oodly weird and just for the sake of it are still out there, in fact, I dare say, more so than it ever was, but frequently people complain about the state of the web, and then immediately open up Facebook or Twitter or use Google to go find their next distraction. Discoverability remains a problem, especially given Google's almost hostile ecosystem of search that favours the recent and viral over the older and evergreen.
