Hi, Harold, gosh, this is a rather timely blog post. In the last week, I have been having conversations with different people who claim you just can't build long-lasting, trustworthy, nurturing relationships with others unless you are co-located on the same physical space. Well, well, well, here we are, we know each other for over 20 years and we've never met!

Yet through our blogs we started having conversations about different topics and eventually that spread into using social media tools to then online community spaces and I trust you as a dear friend more than I would different people I know from face to face conversations!

I don't know whether blogging will have a comeback, or not. I think it never left. I just feel we are starting to warm up again to the idea of re-owning the Open Social Web, given the current enshittification of social media tools, and as such I am surely glad to still have a blog with which to carry on our conversations, along with those other online community spaces. Here's to many more years strengthening those bonds!
