Hey Gio,
I have the impression that you are around the Internet for a very long time yet your oldest blog posts is from 2020. What did you do before the blog, and how did you come to start the blog in the first place?

I don’t have any other blog-style writing online. I’ve been on Twitter, Tumblr, and before that a number of different forums (MSPAF represent) and IRC. A lot of what would now be called “indieweb”.
How I came to start the blog is a longer topic I don’t really have a good answer to. I wanted to have a good space for longform writing, and I didn’t care if blogs were going out of style if they were still the best tool for the job.
