Welcome to the Garden

You have found my version of a Digital Garden. Like every other ADHD fueled hyperfixation, I was immediately entranced by these wonderful spaces I had stumbled upon and thought it would be the answer to all my problems. While that wasn't exactly the case, I am still remaining dedicated to the process and have gotten a lot of positive returns from engaging with it. I am still experimenting with how things are going to work around here, so every time you visit things might look a little different. It is all part of My Process and one that is encouraging me to embrace imperfections and frustrations. I am learning to let ideas develop over time, and create outside of a structure or system.

This site is the messy, chaotic, and authentic plot of the internet where I am Learning In Public to hammer out ideas, work on projects, and gain new skills. It is my personal catalog of what I know and am learning. It is a place of process, gathering, personal rants, learning, essays, experiences, memories, in a nutshell--its me, in all of my chaos, hyperbole, and hypocritical nonsense. I have always strived to present an honest, open, and real version of myself in an attempt to foster community with others. My nostalgia yearns for the early days of AIM and chat rooms, and communities based on niche interests and a desire for connection.

How Do I Navigate/Find Stuff?

This site is a non-linear web of notes with no real navigation. Follow the clickable links on a journey of information. You are probably going to see more than a few links that say the page doesn't exist. This is normal, and part of my process. Utilize the clickable Backlinks on the right sidebar, as well as the Graph View to traverse the digital world you have found yourself in. I recommend setting the graph view to a depth of at least 2 to see optimal connection points. Be open to where it may lead you.
