Lance Is No Longer Keeping It Real
Lance Arthur of Glassdog recently posted “I am no longer keeping it real.” The godfather of the personal web and one of my inspirations for this website is considering leaving the web scene altogether:
Lately, I can’t be bothered with any of it. Not even this. I’ve contemplated leaving altogether, actually. No more glassdog. It’s not that it’s an encumbrance, necessarily, but it is an expense that I don’t necessarily think I need to hang on to. I’m not part of any neighborhood anymore. Not a weblogger, not a webziner, not a pixelator, not a designer, not a writer, not anything. So, I mean, what?
No more glassdog. My stomach dropped when I read that sentence. It’s hard to believe that someone who was once one of the most prolific writers and designers on the independent web is thinking about calling it quits. It really saddens me. It makes me want to take a step back and think about what I’m doing with this site and elsewhere on the web. What will become of it all?

I still strongly believe the Web will become what you make it. Lance has had a wonderful run and entertained, educated, and inspired many of us. We can do that for others, if we let ourselves.
