About
On December 23, 2002, Linus started blogging on the newly formed livejournal.com. Then, he was known as “Mike”. Blogging was fairly new back then. In fact, blogs were a little more than public journals that chronicled their owners lives in intimate detail. Linus used this new medium to share his thoughts and feelings about being a new Christian.
During this time, “Mike” was a student at the University of Maryland majoring in Film Studies in the English Department. In addition to being a student, he began working part-time at the church that embraced him with open arms.
A few years later, as graduation came closer, “Mike” realized that livejournal did not offer the flexibility and control he wanted with his content. So in March 2006, mikesoh.com was born! This new web site not only continued his honest reflections but now contained many of his memories! Pictures from these years became instantly available for all to see!
But as time went on, age and wisdom set in, making mikesoh.com a hodgepodge of intimate thought as well as social commentary. Suddenly, two personalities emerged and one was silencing the other. It was through this conflict that a new web site was born: linuslive.com!
Today, two sites exist: the original mikesoh.com, which hosts Mike’s editorial content and linuslive.com, which hosts Mike’s spiritual content. These two sites, authored by the same person, offer a rich variety of prose that was never clear or organized under the one web site. Additionally, friends that know “Mike” as Linus now have a place to read his blogs without the added confusion as to why his web site is mikesoh.com when his name is Linus.
From humble beginnings, both mikesoh.com and linuslive.com hope to enrich the lives of all netizens by giving not only notes on his spiritual journey, but his social commentary as well.
