From 2008 to 2013, there was a great service called posterous that would allow you to easily blog from your mobile device. You could simply email your blog posts from your phone, and many a late night I would lie down with my Blackberry and blog to berniemichalik.posterous.com. (There are many ways to deal with insomnia: this was mine.)

All those posterous blogs are gone now, but at least I was able to export mine. And from time to time I would post excerpts from it here on this blog under the tag, oldposterous. That was ok, but I wanted a better solution.

My solution was to post the entire posterous blog on AWS. You can find it here at berniemichalik.com/posterous. It goes from newest to oldest post. Not all of them are great, but some are.

This blog, smartpeopleiknow, is mainly a link blog, an approach I adopted a long time ago from people like Jason Kottke. What I liked about that posterous blog was it was more a journal/ideas blog. I might start such a journal/ideas blog again. In the meantime, I can go back and see what I was thinking from 2009-2012, thanks to posterous.

Thanks for read that blog, and as always, thanks for reading this one.
