I have had a rocky relationship with blogging over the years. There have been times when I have been blogging actively and others when I have taken down the site altogether. Thinking back, I launched my personal website back in 1996. The original site was at sneaker.pc.cs.cmu.edu and then moved to www.sneaker.org when I got my own domain. Back then I used to have a section I referred to internally as  ‘Sneaker’s Log,’ on the front page where I posted periodic news and updates. Looking back at it now, I guess that could be considered my first blog, except that was well before blogging as a term ever became popular.

I stopped writing here a while ago, and only had a few sporadic posts over the years. However, I’ve still been actively reading various blogs and sharing posts on my Shared Items on Google Reader and as of late also been more active on Twitter (@manukumar).

For 2009, I hope to make a return to blogging more often and resurrect this site. I won’t make any promises, and I don’t really do resolutions, but here’s looking forward to post more often in 2009. Happy New Year!
