About this Space

The purpose of this blog is to exert a measure of control over my digital life and creativity. While social media continues to make it easy for us to broadcast our voices, algorithms have degraded our ability to make connections with each other by reducing real communication into "interactions" (like/share/comment/smash that subscribe button.)

This space is my attempt to get away from all that. It's a space where my ideas can live and breathe without being crushed under the weight of the social media vacuum. It's a space where you can get to know me, and – hopefully – I can get to know you. And if no one reads this or thinks it's interesting? This place is still mine, and I'm not feeding data into a digital meat grinder.

Will I share links to my content on those platforms? Sure. But aside from a few words and a link here and there, 100% of my stuff lives here on this blog and nowhere else on the internet.

This site is built with Eleventy static site generator using css, nunjucks, and javascript with lots and lots of trial and error.

I write in Obsidian and publish with git to Cloudflare pages.
