Welcome to the Garden

You have found my Digital Garden. Like every other ADHD fueled hyperfixation, I was immediately entranced by these wonderful spaces I had stumbled upon and thought it would be the answer to all my problems. While that wasn't exactly the case, I am still remaining dedicated to the process and have gotten a lot of positive returns from engaging with it. This space will forever be a work in progress as I learn and engage in the process. Because of that, this space is likely to change from time to time in appearance and how you engage with it. It is all part of My Process and one that is encouraging me to embrace imperfections and frustrations. I am learning to let ideas develop over time, and create outside of a structure or system.

This site is my messy, chaotic, and authentic plot of the internet where I am Learning In Public to hammer out ideas, work on projects, and gain new skills. It is my personal catalog of what I know and things I am learning along the way. It is a place of processes, gathering, personal rants, learning, essays, experiences, memories, in a nutshell--its me, in all of my chaos, hyperbole, and hypocritical nonsense.

How Do I Navigate/Find Stuff?

This site is a non-linear web of notes with no real navigation. Follow the clickable links on a journey of information. You are probably going to see more than a few links that say the page doesn't exist. This is normal, and part of my process. Folow the clickable Backlinks you find within notes, as well as the Graph View on the right sidebar to traverse the digital world you have found yourself in. I am currently working on Map of Content pages as tools for navigation to make things easier. They are listed below to help get you in the relative ballpark of the type of information you can expect. They are intended to be starting points to get into an intellectual territory where you will then follow clickable links to move through the garden. In short, click things that look interesting and enjoy the journey.
