hello world

it’s been a long time since i’ve reflected on my presence on the internet.

this past week, i’ve considered it a lot and found inspiration in the online presence of others. people who maintain personal, yet public, websites. i’m drawn to that idea. i’m drawn to using the internet and technology in the way that it has promised to be as opposed to the way that it is provided to us. as a means to connect with others despite geographic or temporal barriers. as a means to participate and engage with ideas and stories that we come across. not as a means to be monetized for my my attention.

i’d rather my attention be elsewhere.

with real people. some who i now have the pleasure to know. others who i look forward to knowing when our paths cross in a moment of serendipity. others still who i’ll never know but who i’ll have connected with through this website and elsewhere my digital bubble can be found.

so, here’s to the start of that new beginning.
