About

Welcome to my corner of the web. You've stumbled into my blog, where I post my mostly-coherent thoughts about random things as well as those things that spark my interest and causes I support. I'll do my best to stay on topic, but that's not a guarantee, lol.

This is a Memex , a personally-curated wiki/blog/knowledgebase. Mostly because I can, and I need an outlet for my ideas while avoiding the bigger social media sites. A better web, in my own personal pipe dream, would be a combination RSS , BBS and ActivityPub network, backed by email-based workflows. Fat chance of that happening, though. This blog is currently written in Markdown within Emacs, though I am currently working on building my own text editor. That is the reason why I haven't used org-mode even though it would be ideal for this sort of use-case. The benefits of using markdown is simply that its more portable, unlike org-mode which requires the 100-ton gorrilla that is Emacs . The site is rendered, formerly using Hugo the 100r build system , but now using my own static site generator on 8-year old hardware (bought secondhand).
