This page has a long history. I created my first "World Wide Web Home Page" in March 1993. It contained contact info, a photo, a handful of anecdotes, and descriptions of some creepy dreams. I think the original URL was ftp://lucid.com/pub/jwz/index.html. In July 1994, that became http://home.mcom.com/people/jwz/, and the now-more-numerous stories were moved to the /gruntle/ subdirectory, arguably becoming one of the world's first "blogs", long before we called them that. A year later, that became http://people.netscape.com/jwz/ and then in August 1998 became jwz.org (which is a story in itself).

For many years, this is where I posted my bloggish writings, taking pains to hyperlink them together conceptually instead of linearly (because that was the style at the time). Then in 2002, I got an account on LiveJournal, and like so many, my posting regime transformed into 5% personal, 95% "stupid stuff I found on the interwebs".

When LiveJournal began circling the drain in earnest in 2010, I migrated that blog back here, to https://www.jwz.org/blog/, and as the rat's milk returns to the sewer, the circle of life is complete.

Also, and not-incidentally, for the last decade-plus I have been doing quite a lot of blogging about DNA Lounge, the nightclub I have owned since 1999. That certainly contributed to the lack of more personal bloggery, since so much of what I have to write about these days is related to that.

In summary, almost everything here is very old, and this page is almost never updated. However, these ancient stories are left here so as to embarrass me forever. Look upon my works, ye mighty, and ridicule.
