Slowly catching up on my RSS feed and I just read Dave's post “Why would anybody start a website?”. Obviously, Dave's post is right up my street but it reminded me of a random notes post on my phone that I wrote a while back.
Why build a website?
Why knit a jumper with your bare hands?
Why cook a homemade meal from scratch?
Why paint in a canvas?
Why fix a broken thing?
Why write a letter?
Why anything really?
We, humans, are driven to touch and craft with our body. Deep down we crave that. Website making is a digital craft.
There, I let out a draft from my phone and it is now in my blog. Why not?
Anyway, I love how the "no thought is original" is real. Turns out, one day before I started this draft on my blog, Jim Nielsen also did a similar comparison. They're smarter than me, listen to them!
