UNDER CONSTRUCTION!
I haven't made a proper blog system yet. For now, miscellaneous writings are collected on a single page.
A lot has happened in my life (as it always does) and I want to write about it! However, this site still isn't set up for blogging. Maybe I should switch to a static site generator? I can write actual documents in HTML but not really preview the formatting. How would I set up RSS for new entries? I've also started writing reviews on my Rate Your Music profile, where it says you can publish to a different site first and credit that one on your review. It'd be nice to put them as blog posts here first and only afterwards publish to RYM and other sites - it's the POSSE way and it'd mean I have ownership of my writing from the start. University assessments are keeping me far too busy to implement any of this now, but I'm hoping to make these changes in the next few months once things get back to a normal schedule! :D
As a teenager, I was excited about new technology. I was always looking forward to using the latest new thing! I don't think that's true anymore. As I've been slowly trying to organise my life over the last few years, I keep finding ways in which they're holding me back. In general, I still believe in the project of improving our quality of life through technology, and I'd probably still call myself a futurist; my issue is with the way it's implemented in society, never the innovation itself. Computers and the internet still hold a vital place in my life, and they can still help me, but I'm having to filter out all the sources of attentional capture to make them work for me. There is an intentionality to my choice of technology now, so maybe that's just part of growing up?
I apply high- or low-tech solutions varyingly throughout my life:
