What Is Blog?

Over the past year I've done quite a bit of thinking about this site, yewknee.com. Its original purpose was to showcase various findings from across the Internet and share them. These days, I rarely spend time casually browsing for visual inspiration and, frankly, platforms like Twitter or Instagram are far better at surfacing that content. A blog like this was always a bit of a curatorial role to surface interesting content but social media helps to remove that need. That's not to say my opinion on what is neat isn't important but it's not a service that is necessary per se.

My day job at Vimeo takes up a great deal of time and I'm generally juggling various projects for We Own This Town and yk Records when I do have some spare time. Beyond that, I'm looking to spend time with my fiance and, ya know, relax a little. It seems that this site has been pushed to the far back burner. If you're a regular reader, I'm sure you can tell.

I'm not sure what this little rant will yield but I'd like to make this site useful or interesting in some way; even if that means scaling it back. I'm 95% convinced the Twitter Likes are going to be removed as we stroll into 2021 and I hope to reduce the visual anchors for most posts. Overall, a bit of a shruggie in terms of what's next here but just know that if you're still reading, something is brewing. If you have preferences on what that might be, let me know.
