History lesson
This site began as an assignment. A few days after Al Gore invented the Internet, I took a class in writing for the Web. One of the requirements was that I have my own Web site. I registered esmon.net a little while before Alex and I were married. (What can I say? I'm optimistic.) It was used mainly as a holding ground for our resumes and my portfolio for a long time. Somewhere in the ensuing five or six years (I wasn't really keeping records), it became more of a personal site. Then, before they went by that awful name, I started reading "blogs," and a while later I found Blogger. And I thought, "That looks alot easier than coding all of this by hand."
So I signed up.
And a lot of stuff happened in between. We had a baby. Alex graduated. We moved. We moved again.
I started the site because I wanted to pass a class. I started a blog because I'm geeky and wanted our Web site to be prettier with less effort. I maintain the site as a blog because it's an easy way to keep our friends and family up to date without having to, you know, talk to them.* And because I'm still geeky.
*Kidding! I love you! I like talking to you! Really! But I don't like talking on the phone. It's not you. It's me. I do love you, though.Labels: flotsam/jetsam
