I’ve decided to take some time and do some cleanup and updates to the website. Partially I think because I have become more and more disillusioned around posting my thoughts and content onto social media, but I also still want to have an online presence. The enshittification of these platforms has made me less interested in using them. Its been hard to find useful information online, the signal to noise ratio is so high. Its a hard choice because in a sense its easy to feel excluded when it seems like ‘everyone’ is on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram.
I have found great sites outside of the social networks. There are still a lot of people writing articles that aren’t full of ai-generated junk. I want to share these items and my take. I’ve also rediscovered RSS as a great way to surf and keep up with a lot of different sites, which still use this undervalued technology. I’ve decided to follow suit, and will attempt to post here more frequently whatever pops into my head.
So expect a lot of random thoughts about technology, bikes, politics, urban planning, the desert, birds, plants, air conditioning, 3d printing, solar power, Rudy Rucker, and more! I hope to start posting some of my personal art as well, as I have a lot of that, that pretty much noone sees. I am still the audience for this site. If anyone else gets a benefit out of it, yay!
