JL's Blog of Blogs Turned 1 year-old

It was a year ago, March 8, that I started posting all kinds of these – in my humble opinion – interesting links.

At the start of the blog it was more about the imminent destruction of the newspaper business. I used it as a self-medicating soapbox. I didn't really advertise this blog for quite some time. Just figured it would be found by a few people sometime. It was mainly for myself in many ways.

Since then it has morphed a bit into more of a catch all of digital media nuggets and unique stories with my at times senseless musings. Many of my opinions have changed since the inception of copying and pasting hyperlinks and HTML. Some for the better and some that have ultimately driven me away from the notion of what I hoped to accomplish as a visual journalist.

The future is evermore unknown, but that is also of a major benefit. There are so many possibilities with digital media, as seen in the ramblings and linkage of the past 266 days. Where things go, who knows, all I do know is there will be some fantastic things that develop. Both for the realm of journalism and for me.
