        "text": "I\u2019ve been tagged in a good ol\u2019-fashioned memetic chain letter, first by Jon and then by Luke. Only by answering these questions can my soul find peace\u2026\n\nWhy did you start blogging in the first place?\n\nAll the cool kids were doing it. I distinctly remember thinking it was far too late to start blogging. Clearly I had missed the boat. That was in the year 2001.\n\nSo if you\u2019re ever thinking of starting something but you think it might be too late \u2026it isn\u2019t.\n\nBack then, I wrote:\n\n\n  I\u2019ll try and post fairly regularly but I don\u2019t want to make any promises I can\u2019t keep.\n\n\nI\u2019m glad I didn\u2019t commit myself but I\u2019m also glad that I\u2019m still posting 24 years later.\n\nWhat platform are you using to manage your blog and why did you choose it? Have you blogged on other platforms before?\n\nI use my own hand-cobbled mix of PHP and MySQL. Before that I had my own hand-cobbled mix of PHP and static XML files.\n\nOn the one hand, I wouldn\u2019t recommend anybody to do what I\u2019ve done. Just use an off-the-shelf content management system and start publishing.\n\nOn the other hand, the code is still working fine decades later (with the occasional tweak) and the control freak in me likes knowing what every single line of code is doing.\n\nIt\u2019s very bare-bones though.\n\nHow do you write your posts? For example, in a local editing tool, or in a panel/dashboard that\u2019s part of your blog?\n\nI usually open a Mardown text editor and write in that. I use the Mac app Focused which was made by Realmac software. I don\u2019t think you can even get hold of it these days, but it does the job for me. Any Markdown text editor would do though.\n\nThen I copy what I\u2019ve written and paste it into the textarea of my hand-cobbled CMS. It\u2019s pretty rare for me to write directly into that textarea.\n\nWhen do you feel most inspired to write?\n\nWhen I\u2019m supposed to be doing something else.\n\nBlogging is the greatest procrastination tool there is. You\u2019re skiving off doing the thing you should be doing, but then when you\u2019ve published the blog post, you\u2019ve actually done something constructive so you don\u2019t feel too bad about avoiding that thing you were supposed to be doing.\n\nSometimes it takes me a while to get around to posting something. I find myself blogging out loud to my friends, which is a sure sign that I need to sit down and bash out that blog post.\n\nWhen there\u2019s something I\u2019m itching to write about but I haven\u2019t \u2019round to it yet, it feels a bit like being constipated. Then, when I finally do publish that blog post, it feels like having a very satisfying bowel movement.\n\nNo doubt it reads like that too.\n\nDo you publish immediately after writing, or do you let it simmer a bit as a draft?\n\nI publish immediately. I\u2019ve never kept drafts. Usually I don\u2019t even save theMarkdown file while I\u2019m writing\u2014I open up the text editor, write the words, copy them, paste them into that textarea and publish it. Often it takes me longer to think of a title than it takes to write the actual post.\n\nI try to remind myself to read it through once to catch any typos, but sometimes I don\u2019t even do that. And you know what? That\u2019s okay. It\u2019s the web. I can go back and edit it at any time.

        "html": "<p>I\u2019ve been tagged in a good ol\u2019-fashioned memetic chain letter, <a href=\"https://hicks.design/journal/blog-questions-challenge\">first by Jon</a> and <a href=\"https://hicks.design/journal/blog-questions-challenge\">then by Luke</a>. Only by answering these questions can my soul find peace\u2026</p>\n\n<p><strong>Why did you start blogging in the first place?</strong></p>\n\n<p>All the cool kids were doing it. I distinctly remember thinking it was far too late to start blogging. Clearly I had missed the boat. <a href=\"https://adactio.com/journal/1\">That was in the year 2001</a>.</p>\n\n<p>So if you\u2019re ever thinking of starting something but you think it might be too late \u2026it isn\u2019t.</p>\n\n<p>Back then, <a href=\"https://adactio.com/journal/1\">I wrote</a>:</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>I\u2019ll try and post fairly regularly but I don\u2019t want to make any promises I can\u2019t keep.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>I\u2019m glad I didn\u2019t commit myself but I\u2019m also glad that I\u2019m still posting 24 years later.</p>\n\n<p><strong>What platform are you using to manage your blog and why did you choose it? Have you blogged on other platforms before?</strong></p>\n\n<p>I use my own hand-cobbled mix of PHP and MySQL. Before that I had my own hand-cobbled mix of PHP and static XML files.</p>\n\n<p>On the one hand, I wouldn\u2019t recommend anybody to do what I\u2019ve done. Just use an off-the-shelf content management system and start publishing.</p>\n\n<p>On the other hand, the code is still working fine decades later (with the occasional tweak) and the control freak in me likes knowing what every single line of code is doing.</p>\n\n<p>It\u2019s <em>very</em> bare-bones though.</p>\n\n<p><strong>How do you write your posts? For example, in a local editing tool, or in a panel/dashboard that\u2019s part of your blog?</strong></p>\n\n<p>I usually open a Mardown text editor and write in that. I use the Mac app Focused which was made by Realmac software. I don\u2019t think you can even get hold of it these days, but it does the job for me. Any Markdown text editor would do though.</p>\n\n<p>Then I copy what I\u2019ve written and paste it into the <code>textarea</code> of my hand-cobbled CMS. It\u2019s pretty rare for me to write directly into that <code>textarea</code>.</p>\n\n<p><strong>When do you feel most inspired to write?</strong></p>\n\n<p>When I\u2019m supposed to be doing something else.</p>\n\n<p>Blogging is the greatest procrastination tool there is. You\u2019re skiving off doing the thing you should be doing, but then when you\u2019ve published the blog post, you\u2019ve actually done something constructive so you don\u2019t feel too bad about avoiding that thing you were supposed to be doing.</p>\n\n<p>Sometimes it takes me a while to get around to posting something. I find myself blogging out loud to my friends, which is a sure sign that I need to sit down and bash out that blog post.</p>\n\n<p>When there\u2019s something I\u2019m itching to write about but I haven\u2019t \u2019round to it yet, it feels a bit like being constipated. Then, when I finally do publish that blog post, it feels like having a very satisfying bowel movement.</p>\n\n<p>No doubt it reads like that too.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Do you publish immediately after writing, or do you let it simmer a bit as a draft?</strong></p>\n\n<p>I publish immediately. I\u2019ve never kept drafts. Usually I don\u2019t even save theMarkdown file while I\u2019m writing\u2014I open up the text editor, write the words, copy them, paste them into that <code>textarea</code> and publish it. Often it takes me longer to think of a title than it takes to write the actual post.</p>\n\n<p>I try to remind myself to read it through once to catch any typos, but sometimes I don\u2019t even do that. And you know what? That\u2019s okay. It\u2019s the web. I can go back and edit it at any time.

It lived up to the hype and is one of my favorite finds of the year. Somehow I had not heard of The Rentals, despite it being Matt Sharp, formerly of Weezer.\n\tThe Warning, Keep Me Fed (2024): A really solid rock album by some mujeres Mexicanas. I\u2019m a sucker for ladies who rock.\n\tChappell Roan, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess (2023): Another favorite of the year. I hope it wins the Grammy. \u201cUm, can you play a song with a fucking beat?!\u201d\n\tjulie, my anti-aircraft friend (2024): I came across a fellow GenX on TikTok who publishes the blog \u201cNew Music for Old Heads\u201d and this album in one of their best-of posts caught my attention because shoegaze.\nAside: I love the idea of that blog and recommend it:\n\n\n\u201cThis is a place for people who want to get into new music but feel overwhelmed by it, or maybe even think it hasn\u2019t been good since [insert whatever decade it was that you were in your 20s].
