garden
i have some friction with the way i blog. a blog post is a published piece: it
has a title, a subtitle, a date, a snappy leading sentence that gets used as a
teaser. some ideas and thoughts don't map well to that structure. i need a space
that allows for messier thoughts, unstructured writing, and most importantly:
less psychological commitment to some self-imposed standard of "quality".
i have some friction with the term "digital garden" -- it just as often brings
up concepts of personal wikis, note-taking systems, and zettelkasten archives,
which i have a personal distaste for. many things may be here, but this will not
be a space for "productivity". alas, i can't control how other people use the
word.
so that's what this will be: unstructured yapping on the internet, with no
particular promises on structure or delivery format.
edit: oh yeah and it's ordered by last modified date so if things shuffle around
it's because i touched them. sorry not sorry
