Are newsletters the new blogs — or is it that blogs are newsletters? I can’t tell. For me, however, the blog is my homestead. 

A homestead is an isolated dwelling, with some adjacent buildings, built on a large plot of land. They are not only independent, but they are devoid of the cacophony of busy places. Each one is unique and representative of their resident. 

In my case, I write and muse about things that matter. More often than not, I write about technology. I also write about my life. And sometimes, I write about photography, baseball, and other interests. Sometimes, I invite you to comment on things. Most of the time, I try to just think out loud.

Like a homestead, I have some adjoining buildings: a section on photography, a podcast, and a place where I write about objects. 

And I have a couple of newsletters to keep you updated. Present Future is about technology. There is one about photography. And another one about objects. They are set up so that the latest blog post will be emailed to you. That way, you’ll know what is happening on my homestead — whether you come to visit or not.
