Somehow I missed the fact that this humble blog made CNet’s “Top 100” list some time ago, in the “Tech Business” category. Thanks, CNet! I’ll try to live up to the billing. I’ve generally adopted the “blog is a mirror of the blogger” philosophy here; rather than trying to niche-ify the blog as a product (everything you always wanted to know about ROUTERS!), which is certainly a good business strategy, I’ve allowed the blog to reflect my own interests across tech, politics and culture. I can fairly well guarantee you won’t find much sports or celebrity news here — but beyond that, almost anything goes.
I have some new ideas and approaches to the blog that I intend to start experimenting with when work on my book, Dreaming in Code, is done. The handful of you who have been paying attention may recall that I completed a first draft of my manuscript before the holidays. Well, we’re still in the middle of editing, and making progress. I hope to be done soon, and when we are, I’ll be posting a lot more about the book and related subjects (basically, software development and its discontents). For those of you who’ve inquired in e-mail, wondering as to my health, or the health of the project: sorry for the slowness. Publishing, like software, has its own rhythms.
In other news on the “self” front, I am proud to see this site’s homely name over at the Electronic Frontier Foundation on a short list of blogs that helped that group with a membership drive last November. It’s fine company to be in. (And if you didn’t join back then, you can still join now.)
