The website currently known as Otherstream.com is eighteen tears old today. What this means is:
- Children born the day I uploaded the first version of the site are now of legal age in the United States. Unless they want to drink. Or run for president.
- I have been doing this for a good deal more than a third of my life and more than half of my adult life.
- The site has survived several homes, cars, and jobs, and has now lasted almost twice as long as my stab at marital bliss.
- I’m old.
Moving into year nineteen, I continue not to be certain what the whole site is about anymore but I also keep on not pulling the plug. So go figure…
Also, after tolerating it for work for quite a while, I’ve also just jumped onto Twitter because (a) the person who had staked out @otherstream for quite some time has apparently relinquished it and (b) I figured I’d better associate the site with it for at least a few months before it becomes the next dead technology. Twitter annoys me more than a little so I’m not sure how active I’ll be, but feel free to stop in.
Anyhow, thanks a lot to the seven of you who still frequent the site. I really appreciate it!
