The Unexpected End of a Weblog

EDITED 2022-12-16.  

This post was originally my wrap-up for Bahr's House of Exuberance.

In the time since then, and especially in recent months, I've grown uneasy with the state of data security in a broad sense and the pernicious reach of social media.  As such, I am undergoing a process of scrubbing my social media down to the fitments.  The fact that I have a family, children, and a business with stakeholders to which I owe a duty of care, has reinforced this decision.

It would be nice in the abstract to leave some things up, in particular things that are problematic, because life comes at you fast and I think I've done a mostly reasonable job of navigating the riptide currents, including both the difficulties imposed upon me and those I brought about by my own error.  If you know me personally or we're interacting in a professional context, I am willing to address whatever questions you may have.  But these things don't need to be out twisting in the social media wind, vulnerable to whatever bad actor might exploit them toward.  

At the end of the day, all we can do is try to be a better person than we were the day before.  I think it's past time I did that in a manner that was not in plain view of all and sundry.

Stay well, everyone.
