Yungins. This journal turns 11 this year. ;)

This place has so many conversations back and forth with friends, plus my thoughts and feelings throughout some pretty major life upheavals, that I will stay as long as it exists. But I have to figure out a good way to download it all in case the thing shuts down.

Monday marks 11 years here for me, and for all that the volume has dropped, I just don't see myself giving up the habit.

i've been here for about 10 years since this past January. It's amazing how much lj has changed. It's kind of a ghost town, but I keep coming back.

One of the reasons is because I want to hear more of that story you had started so long ago.

You know, there's something about the pop-archaeologist (read: Indiana Jones) in me that always makes me even *more* interested in the little antiquated disappearing niches of the intertubes than in their more successful brethren. I guess it's that something like Facebook already pretty much has its place written in the history books. And G+ will either die or thrive, but either way there's not a lot to say about it because social media is already the air we breathe**, if that makes any sense.

But Livejournal? Or IRC? Or some esoteric little MMORPG* that's still struggling out there somewhere? Or even fucking dial-up BBS file transfer protocols (XMODEM, anyone?).

I don't know, there's always something a little bit magic about that for me. Maybe it's just kind of a Sterlingesque fascination with the obsolete, but I like to think it's a little more than that. I think it's the same part of me that finds beauty in the history of the margin. Say, the biography of a Vannevar Bush -- not your ultrastar Einstein or even your secondary tier
