Hi there! I am that geek!
My name is Bill and I have been on the internet since modems squawked and BBSes were a thing. I build websites. I love Star Wars and Star Trek. I’ve read a lot of books. I think Lego is the best thing ever. I own a Mac and regularly use the terminal. I have opinions about tabs-vs-spaces and monospaced fonts suitable for code. I am interested in physics, mathematics, theology, cooking, writing, church polity, chemistry, electronics, tabletop gaming, and more. I know where my towel is and that the answer is 42.
Just in case you were wondering which geek I am.
I’m that one.
So here’s the deal …
This website is my personal space on the web. It’s a lot like my office – prone to nerdiness and often a mess. I am intentionally investing more time here and I expect that investment to play out in three major ways.
Thinking in Public
My interests are varied and I’ve done a poor job at organizing my notes and thoughts. You may have heard of digital gardens or the like – this will probably be closer to a digital sandbox that the cat ocassionally uses for non-sandboxy things.
I said that I like thinking, not that I am particularly good at it.
Learning in Public
Related to the thinking is the learning. I have an itch to document some upcoming projects and I needed a place to do that. Where the thinking space will be about ideas and such, this is more about skills and projects.
To put it yet another way: that’s the library, this is the lab.
Essays and Memories
When I need to write about someone or something or some other thing, I plan to do it here. For example, writing really helped me process my Uncle Jeff’s passing and I miss doing that sort of writing.
Wouldn’t it be awesome if I had a “L” noun that alliterated here? Yeah. I don’t.
