Welcome to my corner of the internet. This is From The Point, a blog about the Chicago Blackhawks.
Remember the Hawks blogosphere? Wasn’t that cool? Well, that shit doesn’t exist anymore. And let’s be real, that form of blogging is dead. The world has moved on. But I miss those days. Which was mostly why I started this thing.
I've written about the Blackhawks in the past ( a couple of blogs and a more serious publication), and no longer have the capacity to devote countless hours to writing about this team. Life has moved on for me as well. But I still love the Blackhawks, and I still love writing about them (yes, it's a problem).
You may get to know the real me in time, we'll see. I promise, I was no one special in the Hawks world. I don't want to mislead anyone into thinking I'm someone I'm not.
So, let's get into what this is all about, shall we?
Content
I’ll obviously be writing about the Blackhawks. We run a one-man show around here, so let’s get consistency out of the way first. Posts are weekdays only. No weekends. But here's what you can expect:
- There's a daily Hawks post with news from morning skate and a preview of the night's game (if there is one). We'll call those SITREPs.
- Every Monday, I'll wrap up the weekend news and game recaps (those are called... Weekend Wraps. Yes. Very creative).
- Game Recaps
- My ramblings (opinion pieces)
What I won’t do is breaking news. I’ve been in that game before. Not doing it, bud. Sorry. I’m not here for views or breaking news. That’s for the birds.
Eventually, there will be a newsletter (might be out now!).
Social Media
You can find me on Blue Sky and Instagram.
I won’t be active too much on the socials as it is. I won’t live-tweet (whatever it is we’re calling it these days), but might chime in somewhere.
AI
Let’s talk about it.
No AI. Period.
I get that it’s a useful tool. But it seriously sterilizes shit. Everything you see here, from the logo to these typed words (jammed by stumpy fingers), is from a human heart. It’s a cold heart, but it’s not AI.
Anything else?
I'm currently migrating my small handful of posts from micro.blog, so please be patient while I spruce up the place.
