The phlogospehere...it's taking me back to when I had my 
first web page...well at least creating something that would 
be online.  I created one way back when and I guess I slowly 
ceased development with the advent of web 2.0 and all of the 
social media stuff.  My site stayed around for a bit, but it 
did not really get many updates or anything.  I did play 
around with some of the "newer" technologies, like putting a 
blog on my server with moveabletype or messing around with 
phpbb, xoops, etc.  All of this stuff seemed a bit much for 
what I needed and it became more work and less content with 
all of the maintenance and spam.  Plus, it seemed as if 
personal web pages were going away and people's attention 
were focused on social media sites.   Also, life in the 
analog was ramping up...I had spawned 2 child processes and 
had to attend to them since they were very, very resource 
intensive, espcially in those days.  So publishing web 
content took a back seat.

Now I am back to content creation...not that I have anything 
great to say, but it gives me an outlet that has been 
minimally existent over the years.  The technological medium 
of the expression is not so important, as long as  the 
contents inside my head is translated into common language, 
processed, and expressed.   This provides some order to the 
chaos and prevents  the manifestation of unnessesary 
inauspicious emotions, sideways anger, stress,  and 
frustruation from being expressed at or in the vincinity of 
the child, parent, (and federated? ) processes.

I have always enjoyed writing, especially if the conditions 
are ideal.  I have kept journals, probably since the dawn of 
my need for self identity, self expression, self 
understanding of my experience of this existence  and its 
inhabitants.  Writing has been a good outlet for me for 
expressing that which cannot be contained.  As well as other 
trivial nonsense.  Vocalization and sociability?  Thats a 
different story...for another time.

With the phlogosphere,, I have enjoyed the undistracted 
experience of your written thoughts  and  ideas through this 
medium.  You have my full attention, literally.  In this age 
of distraction, of social media, targeted advertising,  
multiple computing devices, multiple display configurations, 
multiplexed screen sessions, virtual machines, virtual 
desktops,  cloud computing, etc., I found it appropriate to 
drop this experience of consuming the phlogosphere and 
gopherspace in general, down to single-user mode...and give 
full undivided attention, akin to that of a Friday night 
binge watch of the second season of Stranger Things on 
Netflix on the couch in my family room.  Single monitor, 
single console displayed at full screen, single attached 
keyboard, complete undivided attention, I assure you!

THat last paragraph was quite wordy, was it not?  So be it.
