What's wrong with a wordpress blog? It doesn't seem any less personal just because they're not running a server. That's just technical trivia. They can be at least as personal since they don't have to also be a technologist.

Wordpress doesn't require you to log in. It's just a web page.

Blogs are blogs. There are more of them than ever, far more than you can ever read.

A possibility to consider: they're no longer all made up of people who are capable of running a web server, and therefore not all directly connecting to your own personal technological interests. I suppose there's nothing wrong with missing the days when everybody was a lot like you, but I consider the Internet a lot more interesting for having everybody on it.
