I do, it is mostly for me to record thoughts and document projects - I generally don't expect people to visit it, which is a shame I think.

In my opinion websites display the true intent of the web, decentralized spaces for people to express ingenuity and share ideas. I dislike the centralization of the modern web (I say that with a LinkedIn, Github and Twitter account) and the effort to streamline and reduce the variety of presentation of information.

I guess that is why I keep a site around, it lets me hold onto the web I remember growing up in, and that one day I hope it will morph back into.

And I had the domain for an email address and may as well have put something there.

+1 for putting it out. I find it against the motive and principles of an open web, to consider Internet synonymous with Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn or any service. Yes, they do help us to put content online easily but with a cost. It looks like you could do whatever you want with your content, but it's a false sense of control.

Web is much better the decentralized way.
