You can find my older ramblings here: http://glossophagia.blogspot.com/

I’m throwing this out there just for the sake of continuity. The old blog dates back to 2007, and I think shows an evolution, if not maturing. That’s not always for us to decide. People take it the way they want to take it.

I wonder sometimes what this is all about. Does anyone blog anymore? I mean, outside of corporate entities who have become hipped and hyped to our culture’s desire for storytelling. It’s what people respond to, starting with reality TV but once that cat was out of the bag, people wanted it on radio, podcasts, etc. The sad thing is, of course, is the lines between marketing and real life blurred and it looks now like people/consumers have no real preference. They expect to be sold something through the story. There is advertising and marketing messages attached to everything they do. You play a game on your phone and you get ads, like TV. Every social media platform is an ad vehicle. The ads are positioned as storytelling in one form or another. The lines between the personal and commerce aren’t just blurred anymore. They’ve been erased. The company that sells you your soft drink knows who you voted for in the last election and what issues trigger your emotions. They “share” your values. How about that?

How about that tangent?

I’m going to say this for now. There will be, should my memoir and any subsequent works never be published, a digital tombstone. It’s a dozen years now if you include Glossophagia and it’s all over the damn place. It’s there though for the two or three people who are curious.
