     1. Time to start blogging (and writing) again

         
     2. The seductive magnetism of social media, all those Twitters and Facebooks, all of those mobster and spy games and apps, and the wealth of bright, shiny mobile time-sinks, has been totally detrimental to my blogging and writing muscles. It's time to start flexing those muscles again, before they atrophy into nothing.
        
        Started blogging in 1999, and since all of that content is hosted (and backed up) on my own system and media, I have evidence of what I've done, and what I've been thinking about that goes all the way back to the start. With Twitter and Facebook, I wonder if they're going to preserve everyone's content perpetually. My guess is at some point, the cost of storing all the material, and memories, that's being uploaded and shared on these various social networks is going to outweigh the value of any one company keeping it online forever. And then they'll delete it. And then what will you have? I think I'd rather pour my thoughts and ramblings into a bucket that I own and control, than count on a third-party to keep everything safe for me.
