THE SITE
INTERROGATIONS
This is where I ask the what, why, when, who, where, and how of it all. Let’s see what happens.
MEANDERINGS
This is where a path leads to a curiosity, a curiosity leads to an idea, and an idea leads to 50 – 300 words.
ELABORATIONS This is where I express the experience of living in this meat suit as it wanders through this mad, mad world. Rather than a vault of final destinations, I think of this section as a time capsule – longer reflections (500-3,000+ words) that preserve, within the inherent limits of human language and perception, what I am experiencing. Let’s see how it ages.
VITRINE
This is where you’ll find ,on display, for all the world to see, the bits and pieces that, like me, don’t fit neatly elsewhere: images, quotations, micro-reflections, and tiny moments of wonder that deserve a place to be.
