Explaining Myself.

David (Earl) Pinero's Web Place

This Place is a Publishing Repository

This is my WWW repository. It used to be my blogging platform but you can read this to understand why I changed things up and what it means for any content that you might find here today.

For real-time emoting and to announce links back here to this repository-ish blog, I now do so exclusively using BlueSky. As of May 2025 anyway -- it seems I am constantly circling around the services and previously was committed to the Meta funnel.

But, I think BlueSky is where I've landed.

I think the single-stream efficiency of an X-like microblogging service that isn't X, that operates on the principles of decentralization, and yet, still provides all the hosting might of a large company, makes BlueSky the best sense.

I would have at one time factored in critical mass, which X had, very highly, but ever since X imploded I feel like none of the major platforms have that anymore. Everything has become too fragmented such that all of the services now are just independent web hosting companies for the very particular microblogging format.

As for this repository, I tuck two kinds of content here. First, concentrated personal content and information about me that I feel for whatever reason is of real or imagined importance. That and "regurgitated" content that I originally post elsewhere, if I think something merits it.

This place can still be regarded as a blog though. You can bookmark this domain in that context - here's the link. Just know that aside from brief periods when I experience the publishing bug, my "blog" may lack the rythmetic continuity of one.

Better you should just follow my Blue Sky account DaveEarlPin.

If all of this explanation strikes you as insufferably self-important of me, why, I agree that it is. Just deal. I'm trying to live a digital publishing model of the free and open web so that others might reflect over and do the same for themselves. You as a normie may not get it at first.

Follow Me

While you can keep up with me using the Meta channels I've mentioned above you can also just stick with this "repository bloggish" site. If so:

• Read the active entries as a blog
• Review my accumulated announcements and passing thoughts
• Explore archived content
• You can subscribe to its RSS feed
• And, you can send me a message directly using the form.

Theme

The theme of this repository Explaining Myself is just that. I have forever been a non-affiliating and happily self-isolating personality that people find relating to oddly difficult, even to the point of avoiding. Here and online in general, speaking to the world at large versus interpersonally, is my way of closing that gap.
