10 years of me3dia.

I posted this over on my tumblr, marking the 10th anniversary of me3dia.com on January 3.

Ten years ago today, I became me3dia. That’s when my blog went live, first on Blogger, then on Movable Type. When it launched, “me3dia” already existed in Google searches, but only as a typo for “media,” which is how I got me3dia in the first place. I kept accidentally hitting the 3 key along with the e, and I liked how it looked for two reasons: I had dreams of a career doing journalism, PR and advertising copywriting — three forms of media — and I also liked the 3D in there. Media with depth.

Today, me3dia.com is pretty quiet; most of my blogging is happening elsewhere. I blog here on tumblr, on Gapers Block (which launched in 2003, and on which I’ve posted well over 10,000 times), on Twitter and on client sites. (Ironically, my last remaining pro blogging gig just came to an end — though time will tell if I start another one.) My online activities are splintered and spread out, and it’s time to get them back in order.

My goal is to overhaul me3dia and consolidate a lot of that splintered personal output back into this one site in the next couple months. It’s a birthday present to my site, and a good new year’s goal for me personally.
