Read Reid’s Blog

I’m happy to announce that I’ve finally unified all of my online blog content onto my website.  The content starts on March 16, 2003 and runs until July 30, 2006.

Back when I was a Senior in High School, a few friends started blogging on Xanga, so I decided to join the madness.  I didn’t really write too much, and didn’t know too much about what I should blog about.  When I left for Stanford, I decided I would update my blog, to let friends at home know what I was up to at Stanford, as well as keep a somewhat decent diary of my experiences as college.  In fact, for ~3 years, I blogged EVERY SINGLE DAY, recounting pretty much the most mundane things I did.  I kind of got burnt out of so much blogging towards then end of my Sophomore year, and then stopped entirely.  I eventually moved over to my Blogspot blog, which I’ve imported previously, so now that my Xanga is here as well, all is good in Reid’s online world.  I suppose, as I read through some old random posts, is that maybe keeping this diary does serve some amusing points.  I guess I can sort of track my progressions, since I really struggled in my first quarter at Stanford, (which is now completely public on this forum).  There’s also probably some completely embarassing content, which was meant only for specific people to see many years ago, but I haven’t checked over anything as of today, so it’s only a matter of time before something I wrote as an angsty teenager/college student gets wider publicity.  If you look through some posts, maybe you’ll think I was a bit crazy, probably really boring, and most certainly a big loser.  But, perhaps someone can find some use of it and maybe it will serve as great autobiography material when I become wildly famous and have someone write my memoirs.

I digress.  Probably most interesting to some is how I imported all of this content into Wordpress.  More on that in another post.

*** I realize this has made my “Archives” really long.  I’ll change it eventually, but one thing at a time, okay?
