Here's mine:

http://orangemind.io

I write short funny sci-fi stories, and sometimes essays on writing, computer science, tech.

I have also recently made myself a blog on medium:

https://medium.com/@rayalez

so you can follow me there if that's more convenient(You can find the list of my best articles in the top post).

A question to you. Why would you consider medium.com when you are have an established blog?
rayalez
It seems like a fun and interesting platform, and that's where a lot of people are. If somebody wants to read my stories on medium - why not give them that opportunity?

Also if in five years Medium will be like twitter now - I want to be there. If not - at least it will drive some traffic my way.

These two articles each spent a day on the front page of Reddit:

As you can see from the rest of the blog, my internet fame lasted the better part of a week. And it seems I said everything interesting that I had to say during the course of that one year.

Recently, I've started writing again about the mechanics of how to run a software company while traveling. I figure I've been doing it long enough that I should have accumulated some good knowledge by now.

I don't write as much as I'd like to lately. It's a very low traffic blog, mind you. My best post traffic-wise is an analysis of a Greek poem/song. The one I like most though, is the one below:

I have read the post you like the most.

As an entrepreneur whose motivation is to change the world through software, I find your post insulting. On what basis can you claim that democracy and human rights are better examples of changing the world than is a communication revolution?

I am sorry about it but I think that people who make such statements insult themselves deliberately.

Common sense. Communication is useless without democracy. Human rights are all about minorities and tolerance. So 'Democracy' == 'Human Rights'.
