Now #1
I'm pulling down the personal site I've had since graduating my coding bootcamp 4ish years ago (!!!) to do a complete site overhaul that better reflects my skill and style. It had a newly implemented /now page, and I wanted to be able to keep making "now" updates while I work on the site, which might take a while to launch. So this is my /now page for now. :3
Been engaging more with the indie web lately. A number of devs I've recently discovered were using this platform called Are.na; I feel like I'm late to the party here, but damn, Are.na is incredible. Imagine if Pinterest and Obsidian had a baby, but without algorithms or advertisements of any kind. Ideas rather than content. I started my own profile and have been adding to it like mad. When the chaos of our world — sometimes, the tech world specifically — leaves me feeling nervous or scared or angry, I pull up my Are.na feed for a few minutes. All my discoveries are organic and served to me by other smart, thoughtful, creative, curious humans. The effect is immensely comforting. I've found so many people who are keeping the web weird, artistic, beautiful, and deeply human. I want to be one of them.
