I don’t remember exactly when, but it was around this time 20 years ago (Summer 2000) when I launched my very first blog, Fredo Today (or fredo today or fredoToday or whatever random stylization tickled my fancy at the moment). Through a couple of web hosts (Host$ave and DreamHost), a variety of blogging platforms (Blogger, Greymatter, Movable Type, WordPress), and a few domain changes (grapefeed.org anyone?), the blog evolved but ultimately fizzled out within 10 years. The content I generated has just about disappeared from my clutches since then. Now it probably only exists as a series of zeroes and ones somewhere in “the cloud.” It’s probably just as well; I’m sure revisiting the musings of 22-year-old me would be a cringeworthy endeavor at best.
