Having a blast digging into old school website building.

And it's so pretty.

Once published, each topic will lead to a hub note in my published Obsidian digital garden as part of a learning-in-public project where I dive into whatever I'm curious about, and share what I learn as I go - perhaps turning it into essays as I go.

Devotional polytheist living a monastic lifestyle centered on curiosity, simplicity, and joy.  Exploring the intersection of technology and spirituality.

Excited to read more.

Once again our lives have uncanny parallels, as I too have been working on a digital garden for the past several months. I'll be publishing the results in phase three of the studio launch we just announced. 

Also glad to see you hanging around the purple app more often lately! For awhile I thought we'd lost you to the other platforms.

I got burned by platforms too much, that's why I started drafting in Obsidian a few years ago.  If a platform disappears, I've still got my content.  And over time, the vault(s) become a sort of hypermap of my mind, not just a "second brain" but an extension of my thinking process.

Whatever the outcome may be, building and tending your garden in a space you control is the way to go. Good choice.

Wish I'd been able to do that when I started out decades ago. Instead, I got rugged by multiple platforms, and some of that work is unrecoverable. Still pisses me off if I let myself think about it too much.

I'll be graduating next year, and I'm looking at what's next after that, especially in light of the gutting of graduate loan programs.  It's gonna be either crowdfunding/creator patronage to fund grad school or going an independent researcher route, so I'm setting this up as a sort of portfolio of ideas - some more esoteric than others, some more in line with mainstream thinking - that will serve either to bolster a grad school application, build a niche audience, or both.
