"ooh.directory is a place to find blogs that interest you."
A new blog directory dropped like it's 2002. This is by Phil Gyford, so great--read things! By people!

Can Matt Mullenweg save the internet?
"As more and more of our lives start to be run and dictated by the technology we use, it's a human right to be able to see how that technology works and modify it. It’s as key to freedom as freedom of speech or freedom of religion. So that is what I plan to spend the rest of my life fighting for."
Nice profile of Matt Mullenweg and WordPress—which is still a force on the Web.

The Ever-Mutating Life of Tumblr Dot Com
"More than anything else, Tumblr in 2020 is a self-sustaining ecosystem. It’s a semi-sealed and increasingly fertile terrarium, a nigh-impossible perpetual-motion machine of a platform going productively psychotic in its isolation."
Nice look at the recent history and current state of Tumblr.

Digital gardens let you cultivate your own little bit of the internet
“What you write about is not a fossilized bit of commentary for a blog post. When you learn more, you add to it. It’s less about shock and rage; it’s more connective.”
Just entering this link into the fossil record. But seriously, anything that gets people excited about indie publishing is exciting! The gardening metaphor reminds me of my favorite Gary Snyder line I think about all the time: “Sweep the garden. Any size.”

Old School Bloggers

I spotted this Ask MetaFilter thread in my referrers: Any old-school bloggers still posting? They are! And I wanted an easy way to browse them so I scraped the page with Extract Links From Page, grepped away the internal links, and ran the results through a version of prettylinks.sh to get titles.

That gave me a condensed version of mostly old-school blogs that are mostly still running:

@waxpancake: Blogger launched 20 years ago today on August 23, 1999.
20 years!? This is like when you find out your favorite album in college is 20 years old. And also you were in that band.

Andy Baio redesigned his weblog and has some thoughts on why blogging is ok.

Couch to BlogK

What if I started blogging again? I used to enjoy putting words in an order specific to clearly convey ideas in a public setting. So my blog voice is rusty. That's why I need a program to help get me off the couch to go get my laptop and then back to the couch where I can craft content for the open Web. (Did we stop capitalizing Web?)

What do I have to lose? The blogosphere is a burned-out, empty forest with a few giant redwoods that survived that great social media blaze of the mid 2000s. I know the score. I have Google Analytics running here. It's just me and those few bots that know how to trick Google Analytics into thinking they're legitimate traffic. Come with me, clever bots, while I reclaim my corner of the blogosphere!

This program will consist of a forced writing regimin.
