Not doing an about right now

This was the stock muck page with “This is sample, blah, blah, blah” text. Anyone ever heard of Lorem Ipsum? I mean, printers have only been using it forever. It’s purpose is to design a layout. Also, if you ask an LLM to generate it for you, it will panic and give you a middle finger.

So you might be asking yourself: “If you just wrote that much about nothing and why you aren’t going to write an about page, you could have written an about page?”

But I don’t want to. And I like it that way. What is an about page anyway? It’s a page where someone or some entity writes a bunch of stuff to say “I’m / We’re Special”. But everyone has an about pages saying they are special. Some of them go to great lengths to prove it. If everyone is special, no one is special. Well, let’s go back to the school teacher talking about problem children and use the “Everyone is Special” idea.

This is my personal blog, not something I need to market. I am just fine without any excessive marketing. And the reason the blog has a built in About is because Blogs are used for marketing or for sales. It’s a shortcut into a website. It’s a good solution too, but the idea of a blog is lost to time in a mad scurry to be relevant, and most people use social media for that. So whatever.

That should actually be enough for you to understand what I’m about. Also, I can drop the ego and go with a very skilled professional way of doing this exact thing. I don’t get anything out of it, if it were for a business, it would look completely different. I wouldn’t be using a theme based on a DOS prompt. It would be marketing centric and aggressive. I can do the thing, I just won’t do the thing.
