Everyone should own their own content! And the indieweb community and its underlying philosophy are worth celebrating.

If you haven't, you should try to get to a Homebrew Website Club. Go talk to people about making your own, weird spot on the web that truly represents you. It'll make you feel great about technology again, I promise.
