I am the Tate: I'm back, suckas

I'm back, suckas

Hahaha. Hi people. Inspired by Mark Poshak, and of course Jubstin and Ashcraft, I'm back. This thing used to be entertaining because I would comment on the news and things that happen in the newsroom. But I'm not there anymore, so I'll have to think of something different. Maybe like The Real World: 1310 Kentucky. Or maybe like Behind the Music: The Campus Crusade for Christ worship band. Everyone knows that would be interesting. We'll see. But I've somehow got to figure out how to incorporate John Randle, because that's always funny. I don't sleep enough and I never do homework. I'm out.

the story of the tateblog

In the spring semester of 2005 at KU, I took an online journalism class. Our job in the class was to manage, publish and create the University Daily Kansan web site in only its first or second semester of existence. One of the requirements was that we write in a blog twice a week about what we were learning and accomplishing in class. In its early stages, the tateblog gained attention from original fans Justin Hume and Emily Ashcraft, who for some reason enjoyed reading about my experiences.

After the class was over, I thought tateblog would die. But the fans demanded more. Tateblog started up again in September 2005. From there it grew into quite a phenomenon, until after a year or so tateblogs became less consistent (and arguably less exciting). I even almost decided to call it quits at one point, but I just can't do it. Tateblog must live on.

My life is in a pretty different place nowadays. After taking a two year break from blogging, most likely because in the midst of seminary I had no desire to write anything else, I think I might come back to my old blogging roots. Maybe not so much about weird stuff my friends do, but probably just some thoughts I have on life. So, read it if you like it!
