NeoYokel, digital publishing historian, noble cultural bridge.

For now, I'm just going to reference the entirety of my blog's About page, here:

Huh‽

Bilge is the monobyline World Wide Web blog which I’ve been trying not to create for nearly 10 years.

I began to notice myself tiring out variations of that specific phrase — nearly ten years, for the past 10 years, 10 years ago — in both recent casual conversation and formal written arguments, which have since coincided with another observation: the contemporary stigma surrounding the term blog into which I’d often tossed my hat had blinded me to some very valuable just-discovered creations in the medium. This blog is unlikely to replicate the sort of value found in academic and industry voices, but it’s operated with a guarantee the reader will discover something unlike anything they’ve seen anywhere else, backed by a 100% time refund, no questions asked.
