A short history… of the site, not necessarily me.

Johnford.net started quite a few years ago as the now defunct radiosurfer.com. Radiosurfer was a radio news portal patterned after the macsurfer.com site. But, instead of the news being geared towards the Apple fan-boy’s, it was radio intensive. Essentially a links and commentary site highlighting the latest news in the world of corporate and not so corporate radio broadcasting. Radiosurfer lasted a few years, but in the end, it was all just too much damn work for very little return. Other sites have popped up to take it’s place, including the excellent radio news and industry site allaccess.com. Unfortunately, the niche wasn’t completely filled, and there really isn’t a ‘one stop’ radio news portal supplying links to the other radio news sites. Radiosurfer was pretty handy, but sorry, it’s gone.

About this time I got the bright idea of using my personal domain as a blog. Over the years, johnford.net swung from a site primarily about radio and media, to a singer-songwriter/americana music links and commentary site, and eventually becoming just my personal blog, with commentary, inane and often insane ramblings on whatever strikes my mind. The archives could go back quite a bit further than are currently listed, and there are thousands more postings on my old movable type blog. However, importing them all is just more damn trouble than it’s worth.

So what do you get here? Basically me. My thoughts, songs, poetry, photography, etc… It’s a continuing work in progress to get things up and running again after almost a couple of years of letting the site flounder in the wings. Where will the site go next? God only knows. But thanks for stopping by and visiting. I do promise to be more vigilant in the future about keeping the site more up to date.
