justin hall had it right
put time into whatever it is you like to do, and put that up on the web.
write about yourself, your hobbies, your passions, your politics, your community
whatever turns you on
because if you can be excited about them offline, and somehow transmit that enthusiasm online, or that depth of emotion over the wires
people will find it and stay for it and check back in on it,
especially if they think it’s going to change
