Kevin Patrick Robbins Improviser, Writer, Designer, Person

Over the years, I’ve started and stopped these blog things maybe five or six times. Maybe it’s time, maybe it’s lack of inter­est or read­er­ship, maybe I get bored, but I always shut them down and I always return to my love of writing.

If I had kept at it, I would prob­a­bly be an Internet celebrity by now as thou­sands (hun­dreds of thou­sands) of peo­ple would have looked to my words as inspi­ra­tion for their own opin­ions. I could have been crush­ing it, giv­ing soon-to-be-moms hope and con­fi­dence as a blog­ging soon-to-be-mom myself, or got­ten real and devel­oped a bunch of cloud-based web apps that do lit­tle more than con­tribute to the cacoph­ony of web apps already out there.

But who’s kid­ding who. The real rea­son I kept shut­ting down my blogs was because I felt I didn’t have any­thing inter­est­ing to say. I can write, but are the words I type of any value?

The idea now is to change all of that. To write things of value. To share my opin­ions and ideas about the world and the things I know. I know I have value to offer. I also know that with cur­rent tools (WordPress) and social media (Facebook, Twitter) that I can get the word out eas­ier, that I can ini­ti­ate dis­course with the blo­gos­phere, Twittersphere, Interweb cloud, Socialverse, or any other com­bi­na­tion of words you can think of to jam together — like Webagonia (where the Web lives), Zionosphere (the Real World), or clapp (cloud app).

So, kprobbins.com is reborn. Here I am — although using a really lame WordPress theme until I can design a new one. I’m going to write about things. Things like web design and devel­op­ment. Things like improv and sketch com­edy, screen­writ­ing and being a TV junkie. Things like cool new shows my awe­some improv com­pany is pro­duc­ing. Things like why I think par­al­lel uni­verses can’t exist.
