Knowember 2026 - Get to know a blogger

It's been a long time since I joined in a blogging game, but I saw this one yesterday and well, I couldn't resist. Robert Birming, who is apparently really good at coming up with these kinds of things, came up with Knowember, a change to introduce readers to the person behind the blog. Now, this blog's been around since 2000, but I can't remember the last time I actually wrote an introduction post other than the About page. Maybe never? Now's as good a time as any!

Ok, here we go...

A photo

a photo of a large man in a black t-shirt and cargo shorts standing in the water in front of a waterfall with his arms spread out wide and his head thrown back, like he's screaming out a triumphant yawp at the sky

My wife took this photo last month at Minnehaha Falls in North Georgia. I was, as usual, hamming it up for the camera.

Where in the world I blog from

For the last 18 years, I've blogged almost exclusively from Savannah, GA. It's a lovely place, you should come visit!

What my blog is mostly about

I thought this would be easy to answer, but I've been staring at it for two minutes and I've got nothing.

If you look back over the last 3 years of posts, it's mostly me wrestling with my place in the world as a middle aged white guy, which amounts to "old man shakes fist at sky," sprinkled with media recommendations. Over the last 26 years, though, and I hope, more often than not, it's a decent representation of who I am at the moment I write something down - messy, fairly unfiltered and unedited, as any personal blog should be.

I should be embarassed to go back ten years and look at any random post, and even more so to go back twenty. I write about tech, baking, TV, music, and whatever else strikes my fancy. I'd probably have more readers if I stuck to one thing, but at this point, I don't do this for anyone else but me - also, I think, what personal blogs are about.

It's my corner fo the web and I'll do what I want with it.

Hey, you can do this too! Get on over to Knowember and join in the fun!
