A couple people recently shared old articles I had written a few years back. This is always fun for me because a) it’s nice to see that at least some of the thousands of articles I’ve written over time endure beyond their temporal scope and b) because of the sheer quantity, I often forget what I had written.
Even more interesting is that when I read these articles again, at times, I don’t even think it sounds like me. Or they do, but they sound like a former version of me. Which is to say, they’re often pretty in-your-face, feisty. Which I rarely do anymore.
I still rant and have very unpopular opinions toward modern-tech but when i read old blog-posts, I do sound angrier. I think I write with more conviction sometimes than I actually feel. Either way, when you read things on this blog, I’m usually less angry than I sound.
