I think. I’ve wanted to start writing again on this blog for a while now - but just haven’t had (ok, found) the time. I guess 1,686 days is enough.
The data center industry has certainly changed since I started this blog in 2006. As I think about how I want to return to writing, my intention is to zoom out a little and cover the entire ecosystem that data centers are a key part of: Digital Infrastructure (DI). What is DI, where is DI, who innovates and who owns DI.
My goal in this is the same as before — to just to educate myself on the technology and innovation going on in the industry. I still enjoy the endless news feed of technology companies (operating in the data center), but I think I would just end up copying most things that Rich Miller does. 🙂
Format
After pseudo-committing to blogging again, I wondered about what format would be best for doing this. I could still just do a straight blog (Blogger, WordPress…) or I could explore other formats like long tweet threads, Revue (tweets and small newsletter), or something like Medium or Substack. Maybe I’ll experiment a bit with each of these.
Here is a writing pipeline I am thinking of:
For the three of you that may read this post and have comments or suggestions on things to cover - please let me know. I’ll procrastinate each of them in the order received.
