I love this easy candid style. It's not trying to push anything, for instance "8 years of meetups - how you can do the same!", or "8 years of meetups - why everything sucks".
It's a blog in that kinda old-school sense. A web log of some stuff that happened to somebody personally. So much stuff published as "blogs" are more like essays (ignoring all the shitty marketing blogs). I like essays too, but I also really like these life log things. Not sure how to find one over the other.
Thanks for sharing. I didn't expect to be inspired...!
