I've always appreciated older technology, especially when it's something accessible; that's the reason why I started carrying around a 'dumb phone' and everything connected to it.
That's why I decided to start a blog on the smol pub. There's something liberating about writing on a simple site without the propaganda or distractions many modern websites have.
My university used to have their own wordpress blog where any student could start one up. While it did have a lot of limitations, I truly enjoyed writing my blog posts on there until I saw they were closing their service down in 2024. I was heartbroken; all of the work I had put into designing that blog and writing my posts would all be for naught.
I'm already writing my new year's resolution and it's to write consistently on this blog. Even once a week would be a great start, but as I'm sure I'll have a lot to write about when my internship begins in a few months.
