A re-introduction for Blaugust

Who knew?For anyone arriving here for the very first time Blaugust is a month-long event that takes place each August which focuses on blogging primarily and has started to include other forms of serialized content over the last several years. The goal is to stoke the fires of creativity and allow bloggers and other content creators to mingle in a shared community while pushing each other to post more regularly.Cool, cool. I already post very regularly, but I appreciate the spirit of this, and I\u2019m delighted to take part.\n\nI discovered this via Andy Piper\u2019s post, and I like the way he\u2019s taken a step back and (re-)introduced himself. So I\u2019ll try and do the same.\n\nYou can learn more about me on my About page or on my narrative resum\u00e9, which collectively explain who I am and how I got here at length. Or at least, they explain the professional version of me. So perhaps this \u201cabout me\u201d can be a little more personal.About MeI\u2019m Ben Werdmuller. I\u2019m in my mid-40s. My mother\u2019s family are half Russian Jews whose village was burned down in pogroms conducted by the White Army, and half institutional east coast Americans who can be traced back to the Mayflower. My dad\u2019s are Indonesian, Swiss, and Dutch: the Werdmuller von Elggs are a Swiss aristocratic family of textile merchants who were involved in the Reformation, among other things. My dad is one of the youngest survivors of Japanese concentration camps in Indonesia.\n\nWe moved around a bit when I was a kid, but the closest thing I have to a hometown is Oxford, England. These days I live in Greater Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, after twelve years or so in the San Francisco Bay Area. I also lived in Edinburgh, Scotland, for close to a decade.\n\nI see the world through a strongly internationalist lens, am fiercely pro-union and anti-war, love immigration, and believe in a strong Europe as long as it is a force for inclusive democracy and peace. I mostly align with progressive principles and emphatically reject the idea that the political center is the most reasonable \u2014 particularly in America, where the universal healthcare, gun control, and educational principles that are just accepted in most of the rest of the developed world are somehow considered to be incredibly left-wing.\n\nI\u2019ve lost five members of my family, including my mother, to a (so-far) incurable, genetic telomere dysfunction. Although I\u2019m grateful to not have the genetic trait, I would gladly have exchanged it with them. It doesn\u2019t and must not define any of their lives, but it hangs over my family. We\u2019ve experienced a lot of loss in a short time and we miss them all terribly.\n\nI\u2019ve founded a handful of startups, have been the first employee at a few more, and generally find myself in CTO roles across smaller, growing organizations. A few years ago I took a sharp career turn and started leading technology in non-profit newsrooms, because I became more and more concerned about the state of the world and wanted to be on the side of strengthening democracy. These days I lead tech at ProPublica. I care a lot about supporting the fediverse and the indie web, which I see as incredibly liberating in a human way: they\u2019re how the web should be.\n\nI\u2019m a lifelong Doctor Who fan. I remember watching the Daleks chase Peter Davison\u2019s Doctor when I was very small, and I still look forward to every new story. I wrote this story about the 50th anniversary, eleven years ago now.\n\nI care about using technology to make the world more informed and equal. If we\u2019re not doing that, what\u2019s the point?About My BlogOver time my blog has transitioned from just being my indie space to mostly talking about the intersection of tech and media. It\u2019s led to working interesting jobs and meeting interesting people. I don\u2019t have a ton of time to build new software or write longer work, but I\u2019ve made reflecting here an integral part of my life.\u00a0Lately I\u2019ve been thinking about making it more personal again.\n\nI\u2019ve been blogging since 1998, which feels like a very long time ago, but this particular space has been going since 2013. Prior to that, I blogged at benwerd.com, which I keep online as an archive. My sites before that have been lost to time but are probably still available on the Internet Archive.\n\nThis site runs on Known. I write posts using iA Writer, and power the email version using Buttondown.\n\nEvery so often I ask readers here what they\u2019d like me to write and think about. So I\u2019ll ask you, too.\n\nIf you\u2019re new here: glad to meet you! If you\u2019re a long-time reader: thanks for sticking around.",
