Adding my Node to the Web

We lost the WEB when algorithmic content started to become the end-all-be-all of the internet. The Internet shifted from a place of exploration and curation to 'people as product'. Ads, suggested, recommendations are all chosen to best get you to buy and engage. I found it keeping me stuck in my 'yesterday'. The posts that resonated yesteday don't resonate as strongly today yet they stll remain wedged between whats important; updates from my friends. And truly that's all I care about. So here is my site to tell those that want to see what's going on with me and what I think is important. This is my push back against being targeted and instead to be curated and exposed. I believe the world would be a better place if we moved with vulnerability, empathy and connection, I'll be bearing my soul, showing my interests and thoughts on anything from art to a blade of grass. I hope my writings start a discussion, ignite further insight, or help in some way. I'll be including sites that inspire me, make me think, and resonate in some way. It's entirely possible a site will be removed as my interests evolve and change. See my current favorites
