If I had $1 for the number of times this homepage has been reinvented…

My current ambition is a business technology blog. Maybe in the more personal syle of Paul Thurrott or Krebs on Security. I could cover topics like security, compliance, and emerging technologies along side rants about right to repair issues and open source solutions. Every once in a while a more serious topic may emerge, maybe something about leadership or information freedom.

Ya, that sounds pretty good.

History

This is my personal homepage. It officially started back in 2001 when I first registered the domain for justinsloan.com. Before that, it existed first as an AOL profile, then as an AngelFire site, and then as a GeoCities site. Since registering the domain, it has been hosted on .Mac, Wordpress, Blogger, MoveableType, Ghost, AWS S3, and various other platforms.

In all of it’s incarnations, it has always been a reflection of “me”. It’s a place where I both create and communicate. The Wayback Machine is always a lot of fun. It captured when we first got married and I was broke. Our wedding website is there. It has my virtual business card. For a while I used the site to talk about food, photography, and minimalism. But by 2015, policy changes at the Internet Archive mean that this site would not be captured anymore.

But I’m still here. And like this site, I’m still trying to find myself in many ways.
