What blogs?<\/a> you ask, if you don’t mind my conjuring you up and dropping you seemingly in mid-paragraph. Present company excluded, those\u00a0would be Another Cycling Forum<\/a>, since retired except for the slowly expanding l’image vidage<\/a> collection, and Not Another Cycling Forum. Clearly I like forums, even\u00a0when they’re not. I\u2019m intimately familiar with the software, and prefer how threads work to posts on a more typical blogging platform.<\/p>\n

This is a confession: I finally fell into Facebook. Not that I\u2019m really getting anywhere with it. Few of my Friend requests have been RSVP\u2019d.<\/p>\n

I still don\u2019t do Likes in lieu of social intercourse. Viral vids give me the hives, too many emoticons a case of eyeroll. Most sorrowfully of all, not everyone finds reimagining pivotal scenes in Shawshank Redemption conducive to carrying on a conversation. (To keep that little photoshopping project from having been a complete waste of energy, I cc\u2019d it to Twitter<\/a>, to be absorbed into the public commons in the fullness of time.) So far it\u2019s been most useful as an outlet to vent my insomnia.<\/p>\n

Where to next? Having placed myself in exile from all the forums in which I\u2019ve ever taken up residence, I may have finally reached a social media dead end: the dreaded Zero Club, where everybody knows my name. Even Medium.com, with its almost perfect interface, offers no solace: who needs sad stats floating on the screen in silent rebuke?<\/p>\n
