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.
