I'M DAVID BLUE - AN AUTOMOTIVE JOURNALIST ON SABBATICAL AND SELF-DESCRIBED
SOFTWARE HISTORIAN.

It's good to be here!

By that I mean, it's especially nice to feel welcome here even though I am in no
way a software developer.

I use the term Software Historian because I have found myself especially
fascinated with the origin stories of the platforms and services we use in the
past 3-4 years, especially regarding Word Processors.

My ultimate software development aspiration would be to build my own CMS with
Python from scratch, but I'm not just being humble when I tell you that I am
very far away from doing that.

Recently, I have been toying with the idea of writing a Literary History of
Streaming Music, directly inspired by Professor Matthew G. Kirschenbaum's Track
Changes: A Literary History of Word Processing, continuing the work I began in
one of my all-time best essays examining the Holiness of Bandcamp as a
technology company who can do no wrong.

I'm sure anyone reading this can relate when I lament that I really should get
around to writing an updated bio, but I've already spent enough time on this
one, I think. Let me just quote myself from my blog's about page:

> I’ve already born witness to innovation bridging divisions between people
> throughout the greatest informational renaissance my species has ever seen...
> Originally, I wrote about our relationship with cars (2019 Volkswagen Atlas
> Review) and now technology (Bandcamp: Streaming's Secret Savior) from a
> perspective that feels tedious or abstract to some, but is generally
> entertaining, through-and-through. I’m proud of the work I’ve done so far,
> which has been wild, absurd, reflective, and hilarious — occasionally all in
> the same work as I develop my voice.

I'm not just horsing around when I say feel free to email me about literally
anything.
