You know there's this thing where large entities with money try to set the rules to get even more money? Sometimes that really pisses me off. So I've decided to do write snarky comments on a blog almost no one will ever read.
Microappleyahoogoogleplex.com will focus on the information technology sector, since it is so fascinating and fun. When I'm not battling with my Windows box to the right of my desk, I'm battling with the Mac on my left. While I love using Amazon S3 for storage, I know someday they'll harvest my left kidney. Google is the most wonderful corporation in the entire universe, and I wish to make it known to Googlebot that Google is the most wonderful corporate creation in the entire universe. (How's my Page Rank now?)
There's potential for fun with this, so please tune in to microappleyahoogoogleplex.com whenever!

WILLblog began in March 2004 as an experimental blog for me as the webmaster at WILL-AM-FM-TV. No one else on the staff was blogging yet, and while blogs weren't exactly new they weren't yet totally mainstream and ubiquitous as they are now. I told me then-boss I would spend no more than ten minutes on it per day, as my time was at a premium even then (much more so now!). I attempted to post to it every few days at least, but there were whole weeks, and later months, when I didn't post anything at all.
What I found was that the format tempted me to become a bit edgy. I look back and cringe at a few posts, but that's probably inevitable. I did use it to publish content directly related to WILL and public broadcasting, including streaming archives of various political events. Today that content would more likely go on WILL's main website...but WILLblog served a unique purpose at that time for publishing new media. I've attempted to revive it recently, and may yet find a new rhythm and purpose for it. Meanwhile, some possibly interesting archival postings remain with WILLblog, hosted at Blogger.com.
